Cant access "X" website .... get message that says Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection (strict mode) is known to cause issues on X.com

On two different Windows machines, current Firefox (153.0.1), the alt-d shortcut stops working: it does nothing until I restart Firefox. Then it works again for a while. I've tried about:keyboard and it's not reset there. I tried all combinations: Clear, Reset, setting it to alt-d explicitly. None of those worked. But when I set it to alt-a, that worked--but then resetting back to alt-d again didn't work. That shortcut is muscle memory at this point, so it's quite distressing. Not sure what diagnostics might be available to help here, happy to try anything.

Full disclosure: Both machines are Windows 10 but since that's stable, I find it hard to believe that's related.

So I got a new PC, and installed Firefox on it. When I try to log into my account on there it goes to the loading page that shows the Mozilla logo and below it says "is verifying your browser..." with a spinning loading ring. The problem is that it won't do anything else but this. I have tried Refreshing Firefox, going into Troubleshooting mode, and just waiting. But after all of that, it is still stuck on the loading page described above. Nothing is happening but the loading ring forever spinning. I can not sign into my account at all because I can't even get to the page to do so.

How do I fix this?? I really need all of my stuff on this new computer. (I'm writing this question from my old computer since I can't even log into the Support because of the same issue)

When I try to make a Google search I get the following message, "I'm not a robot" with a reCAPTCHA: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. I know this has been an ongoing issue, but it only happens with firefox on both my computers, vpn and all extensions off. Even tried a new IP address, same issue.

Yesterday (10/1/26) Firefox went through SEVERAL updates to v.157.0. Now, it behaves extremely buggy and locks up if I try to open more than one window. It was never this pathetic! I want to revert back to the previous version. Yes, I am running Win10.

Also, now it will not even close properly. I have to go into program manager to kill all of the subprocesses that have spawned. I DON'T LIKE THIS VERSION AT ALL!!!!!

When I try to attach file via drag & drop, the Firefox always display "Download file" as attachment. I don't know why because it properly worked before. but after some updates, drag & drop is not working.

The version of Jira at my office is not changed for years(v8.12.1#812002-sha1:7c28d59) and drag & drop is working via Chrome, Edge and etc.

Hello,

I'm seeking support to try to resolve an issue that has recently started happening. I can't be the only one who is experiencing this, so if this is resolved others can benefit too. I'm not a complete novice, but neither do I claim to be an I.T. expert.

I use my ISP's webmail service to access my emails. I'm aware I could use an email client, but I prefer to access via a web browser and have done so for many years. About a week ago, I was no longer able to sign in to my webmail. I thought it may be a problem with my provider, so I checked using other web browsers - Safari on iOS which worked and Microsoft Edge (using the same internet connection, same desktop PC) which also worked and continues to work without issue. I can only think it must be something wrong with Firefox? I can access the sign in page as normal using Firefox and select my email address, but after attempting to login I always get the same error message:

Sorry, we can't sign you in just now

Don't worry, it's just a quick pause to help keep your account safe.

Instead:

   Use a device you've signed in on before
   Try again from a familiar connection
   If you're on a VPN, switch it off and have another go 

Still stuck? If this keeps happening, get in touch with us (quoting reference IDF-12B) and we'll help sort it.

I have 2 extensions installed in Firefox - Adblock Plus and Ghostery. I have already added the specific URLs to the allowed websites list (first is the sign in page, second is what it redirects to):

mail2.virginmedia.com oauth.virginmediao2.co.uk

I have searched around for possible solutions, to no avail. Virgin Media advise only signing in on their main home page, but I've never done this as its just another step and extra unnecessary clicks. I don’t want to constantly be bombarded with news, offers and promotions every time I want to check my email, so I only use the direct webmail sign in.

I have tried clearing cache, cookies, etc. Then I tried to refresh Firefox, none of which worked. I also tried uninstalling Firefox, then using CCleaner to perform a clean up and registry scan to fix any possible issues, followed by a clean installation. To my surprise, I was able to sign in to webmail OK. However, the next morning, I got the same error. The only other settings I have tried tweaking is adding exceptions to turn off "Enhanced Tracking Protection" and "Block pop-ups and third-part redirects" on those 2 web addresses.

Any suggestions or options to try would be appreciated.

Again why does everyone think ai is so great. why again are people not given a choice like do you want or not want ai. HATE AI IN SAMSUNG GEMINI AND GOOGLE do not want ai anywhere ion my computer or i phone and please let me know if there is an addon or extensions in Firefox to not see it in my searches in google searches
