Website Functionality completely broken after using "recent activity" function to open them
After using the "recent browsing" menu in the top left corner of FF and opening certain websites from the "import tabs from other devices" menu it has completely broken a handful of websites on my PC entirely, even using other browsers.
The page will load but no content is displayed, no links or media, just a blank white page. This is consistent among these websites even among other browsers including Chrome and Edge.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled FF multiple times, cleared cache/history, hard PC resets, refreshed FF, Uninstalled and reinstalled every browser. The issue persists.
These websites still function perfectly fine on mobile FF and Chrome. I've exhausted website permissions, app permissions, etc. The issue still persists. These websites were functioning just minutes before I tried importing them from the other devices tabs. Something about that functionality has completely broken them on my PC.

Did you import from mobile to desktop? I wonder whether that has confused Firefox or the site in some manner. But either way, potential mobile/desktop confusion in Firefox should not affect other browsers. When multiple browsers are affected, I think about possible issues with security software that filters browsing across the system, or the router you use to connect to the web.
Since last update, several of my bookmarked pages that are linked to MS Office sites (e.g., OneDrive, Mail, Calendar) are now broken: a blank page loads. I've cleared cache, restarted laptop, etc. etc. Functionality has steadily decreased over the past 3-4 updates. As much as I like FF, I have been forced to switch browsers to Edge and Chrome, to be able to open pages.

Does the blank page appear before or after you sign in?
When redirects stall on a blank page, the first thing I always suggest is to make sure the redirect block didn't get turned on. Here's how to check that:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future. Since we are restoring the default value, I feel comfortable mentioning it.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste accessibility.blockautorefresh and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the preference has a value of true, double-click it to restore the default value of false
