Just upgraded to Big Sur OS on my Mac and my Command-R refresh keystroke no longer works on *some* sites in the latest version of Firefox. I've opened Firefox in the troubleshoot mode and it's still a problem. My f5 function key is working properly. How can I fix this?

Thanks.

I followed the link that appears on the right that says, "See Also: command + R not refreshing the page" and got rid of my prefs.js file (actually renamed it) as it suggests. That didn't work either.

When I reinstalled my old prefs file, I couldn't get any webpages to come up. So, I got rid of the file and reopened Firefox so it would create a new prefs file. The browser is working, but Command + R isn't.
