Issue with Changing IP Address on Firefox Causing Banking Restrictions

I’m experiencing an issue when trying to log in to my bank accounts using Firefox. Each time I sign in, my bank detects a different IP address and treats it as a new device. This results in a security hold, and I’m unable to make any transactions for 48 hours.

Could you please help me understand: - Why Firefox might be showing a different IP address to websites? - Is there a setting or feature in Firefox that could be causing this (like DNS over HTTPS or proxy-related features)? - How can I configure Firefox to maintain a consistent IP or browser identity for secure sites like my bank?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
