New Profiles Update Creating Massive Conflict with Controls on WIndows 11

I just got the profiles update and I'm having a lot of issues with firefox, but I'm not sure what I did wrong. When I change windows both too and from firefox, the menu pops up. As I continue to use it, my controls slowly begin to change. My scroll wheel changed from moving up and down the page to the same command that happens when you go backwards or forwards using the buttons in the top left. I lose the ability to use the windows key on my keyboard. Eventually, I lose the ability to type entirely sometimes, so all the keys from the keyboard just stop working, even though it's plugged in and recognized. Also, if I have firefox open for too long in the background, I'm unable to tab out of whatever window I'm presently in, even if firefox is just running in the background.

I've isolated the problem to just firefox by using other browsers like edge and chrome. While having both of these programs on in the background or during regular use I saw no issues with my pc.

I've tried the main trouble shooting steps provided by firefox, but none have helped. I also thought maybe some of the extensions were causing problems so I stopped using all the ones not from firefox directly, but this also didn't help. I still have the container extensions on.

I think I'm on the latest necessary windows 11 update, but maybe need to go to 25h2? I'm just guessing at this point.

What am I doing wrong with the new update and how do I use the profiles properly so I don't have these issues?
