how ... do I turn off enhanced tracking protection because it's breaking everything? I need my security and this is actively preventing me from acquiring the necessary security apps and accounts I need. This is actively making me less safe. It also won't let me get a different browser

I am trying to login to my healthcare website and it will not login if the cookies from the previous login are present. Workaround is to delete the site's cookies from Settings-> Privacy and Security-> Clear data for Specific Sites. I have tried Settings-> Privacy and Security->Manage exceptions->Block but it does not work. The cookies are allowed and they again prevent Login.

Suddenly, I am getting unwanted ads every time I do a search or open another window on Firefox. It is extremely annoying and I have tried everything. This annoying practice includes even opening opinions/articles in the wsj. This, I believe, is outside what a browser should be providing. Popups that are unwanted and are part of the operating system is just not right. I am considering going to another browser as my default because of this intrusion.

Hi, when in tracking protection settings, the difference between major and minor page corrections checkbox choices isn't explained. A referral url info button would help alleviate. Wish I could help the project, but I'm 72 & have been fighting m$ retribution as an involuntary uefi tester for an alleged dmca violation 20 years ago. Yes, they do maintain blacklists for their own internal justice system, which I discovered using self-taught low level Linux forensics to find the bootkit methods they locked into my bios. No one wants to touch that live wire and it's now SOP industry standard.

Enhanced Tracking Protection is preventing access to x.com even after it is allegedly "turned off" for this site. I have been using personal computers since the 1970s after the IBM PC was introduced, but now I am about ready to ditch Firefox AND Windows 11 to install a decent version of Linux. Grok on my iPhone 8 offered several suggestions to resolve this issue, but none of them have worked so far... including trying to us Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox.

A site I use daily for news suddenly is not activating, but told me there is an ad blocker happening via an extension. I went on privacy and security and extensions and I have not activated any extensions to block ads. This site activation was working just fine before Firefox notified me of "changes" that would not effect my settings. It obviously did. Would Zoom size be effecting the opening of this site. It's just at 100%. I have been trying Gemini to figure out the problem but so far nothing is working.
