Can't load Firefox account web page (accounts.firefox.com) to log in; it always quickly crashes the tab

I have installed the antiX-23 (latest version) Linux operating system on my Acer Travelmate 4050 laptop (it came out in 2003, so very old). It comes with Firefox ESR version 102.14.0esr (32-bit). Despite the laptop having only an Intel Pentium M 1.6GHz processor and the maximum 2GB of RAM and a swap file of 1GB, everything—including the browser—works very well except that when I go to the Firefox account log-in web page, accounts.firefox.com, the page quickly crashes at the very beginning of starting to load. Funny thing is that when I ran the operating system live from the USB installation stick and ran the browser, the Firefox account log-in page worked fine. Is there an alternative Firefox page or other way to log in so that I can sync the browser with my other devices?

Upgraded to latest available Firefox for my Linux distro version, Firefox ESR 115.7.0esr (32-bit), and the problem no longer occurs.
