Firefox will not load sites that generate additional pages while other browsers can

I'm having an issue where firefox is acting as if there's something blocking pages/content. I do not experience the issue on any other browser.

I first noticed it trying to log into one of my accounts. The login portal redirects the page to a success screen and then to the home page. With firefox after entering credentials it shows a blank page with a 500 error instead.More specifically I believe it has to do with an api for "duosecure" (checking for multi factor auth)

another example is trying to download chrome remote desktop - normally you click their download link and pauses the current page while it triggers a popup to chrome's page to download the extension. It does this in any other browser I try except firefox.

This is on a clean install of windows 10 and a clean install of firefox. I am on the latest version of firefox (tried 106 and updated to 107 via the beta options) I have: - cleared cookies and cache - restarted firefox - tried safe mode - tried with and without extensions/addons and have removed all - uninstalled firefox as well as deleted all appdata folders - tried unchecking hardware acceleration - setting dns to none and changing the dns server options - turned off any setting i could find regarding popups, blocking sites etc - manually turned off enhanced tracking - gone through windows firewall and security settings to turn off everything that i could find that was "on" - rebooted computer - rebooted router - used the "refresh" firefox to set it back to defaults - tried connecting to the internet via ethernet and wifi options - windows updates Note: logging into other things such as gmail or facebook are fine on firefox but they don't seem to trigger redirects to outside sites.

Thank you - I have tried this and it makes no difference. originally I had been doing that by clicking the shield by the URL and disabling it for the sites. From your links I did it through settings where I completely unchecked the cookies option under custom. From your links I have now tried leaving cookies checked and choosing the "cross-site tracking cookies" option. And have gone to about:config and changed the value of network.cookie.cookieBehavior to 4.

I have also gone ahead and unchecked every option under custom in the enhanced tracking protection. the sites also have the notification next to the URL saying These parties can use cross-site cookies... None of these options made a difference.
