Why is Firefox blocking access to https://x.com?

Firefox Tracking protection

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.

"but none of them have worked so far... including trying to us Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox."

Which would point to some form of higher level filtering. Are you sure e.g. your Malwarebytes does not interfere with websites' functionality?
