Will choosing blocking 'cookies from unvisited websites' also block 'cross-site and social media trackers'?

This should be a simple question. But I simply cannot find an answer. If the answer is 'no' - then I would like to know how I can block both groups? That is, without blocking all third-party cookies? ... Have I misunderstood something basic? Thanks!

EU has the pesky "Cookie Law". In order to get rid of the banner asking for permission to install cookies, permission to install must be granted. Will Firefox continue to block (chosen) cookies even after I formally give a website permission to install cookies and so forth? If the answer is 'yes', I will have to manually deselect the most invasive cookies. This would be a major nuisance. I imagine that the answer is 'no' - because, why would Firefox allow cookies based on a request from a website? Meanwhile, I can't find an answer. Thanks!

I have noticed some new behaviors of a website for which I am responsible. The behaviors started some time in the last six months or so. I just noticed them in the last week when I updated the website. The website is https://281connections.us/ and I am using using Firefox 71.0 on Ubuntu Mate 19.04 . . . Question 1 When accessing the hosted site, the script that toggles the menu to drop down is ignored (https://281connections.us/# ). (Using a Chromium browser, I can get the script to run by telling it to “load unsafe scripts”.) The script in question is run in Firefox without objection when the same code/site is invoked from files local to my machine. I can not find a setting in Firefox to allow the script to execute when invoked from hosted source. I have tried an assortment of settings changes, but can’t find anything that works. Can you help? Question 2 Javascript that runs a dynamic page (https://281connections.us/281connections_Wiki/South_Dakota_Families/Bates-Moodie/Fan/DynamicFan.html ) runs just fine using Firefox and the hosted website. However, when invoked on local files, it does not run. (It presents a large circle, but never fills it with information.) Is there a setting that will allow me to see dynamic page when invoked locally? (BTW, the behavior is identical using Chromium for what that is worth.)
Last note - disabling extensions does not affect the behaviors noted.
[Thanks for your consideration.]

When I am on facebook and I click on a link to another website, or when I'm on another website and I click a facebook link, my browser history gets deleted for that tab, so I cannot click back. How do I prevent this from happening? It's bad that websites can do this at all, they obviously shouldn't even have access to my browsing history. Is there a way to disallow this?

Problem with enabling two-step authentication for Firefox

I have tried to enable two-step authentication for Firefox using Authy 2-factor Authentication app for several times, but to no avail. Prior to trying to enable it for Firefox, I succesfully enabled two-factor authentication for my Facebook, Google and Microsoft accounts. After trying it for Firefox, I also did it for my PayPal account, so the Authy app doesn't seem to be the problem here. I tried typing the six numbers with and without space in between and multiple times in two consecutive days, bot nothing seems to work. I read the QR code succesfully and added Firefox on Authy, but the code just always seems to be incorrect (I'm not sure how to translate it in english, I am using Firefox in Finnish, see the attached image). I censored all the codes in the image.
I would really like to get this to work, as two-step authentication seems to be a good way to make my account a lot more secure.

In the comments it listed 3 sites to check how unique your browser is: https://www.deviceinfo.me – Device Info https://panopticlick.eff.org – Panopticlick https://amiunique.org – AmIUnique
I have Fingerprinters checked to be blocked but on all these sites it still was able to uniquely ID my browser. I thought I had the options set pretty well to lock it down but it doesn't seem that way. Is something not working right or ???
Thanks

I've tried on firefox 70.0.1, go to my account, privacy/security, and clicked enable 2step. i see the QR code come up, I use google authenticator to add a account, scan the QR code, the generator is successful and displays a timed key.
No amount of time or keys I've entered works. The page just tells me "Invalid two-step authentication code"
I've tried adding manually with a text key instead of QR and still the same thing.

Hi, I'm running Firefox on a chromebook. When I go to google.com the FireFox browser states the connection is insecure.
I was hoping to follow the breadcrumbs further to understand root cause. There was no apparent path. Could I ask for some feedback?
