Note: I haven't tested it yet myself, so I may come back and add/edit.
Edit: This change might not take effect while you have network.cookie.CHIPS.enabled set to the non-default value of false. That was toggled by this study:
Disabling CHIPS for v131 • Active
Disabling CHIPS feature for all v131 users due to a google auth login regression
I noticed in the regular release notes: "Firefox now blocks third-party cookie access when Enhanced Tracking Protection's Strict mode is enabled."
And in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/132#privacy Developer Release Notes]: "All third-party cookies are now blocked in Strict Enhanced Tracking Protection. (Firefox bug 1918037)."
Which raises the concern of site breakage. Especially since this bug is still open:

Note: I haven't tested it yet myself, so I may come back and add/edit.

Fingers crossed. It looks like Dan may have gotten confirmation that CHIPS broke Bill Pay for those bank sites:

"Thank you for the help. Flipping the pref network.cookie.CHIPS.enabled to false immediately solved my problem and I was able to get into Billpay."

Something that has been added to the wiki for this release but worth mentioning here is that Apple has changed a control in Sequoia that might mean that users are unable to access devices on the local network (such as home servers).
