Firefox browser often fails to open the tab pages

Over the last couple of weeks the Firefox Browser will not load the tab page (e.g. Washington Post, New York times) and says it cannot find the web site. I tried troubleshooting mode and then resorted to refresh which only made it worse. It got to the point where the browser wouldn't even open the mozilla.org page correctly.

I finally turned my internet security service off and the browser began to work better, but getting my tab page to open sometimes comes up with a "we cannot find the site" and a "try again" button which never works.

I tried using Safari to go to the same web sites with no problems.

My wife uses Firefox on her I pad and her tablet and says firefox browser is giving her problems.

I have Firefox 116.02 (the browser also seemed to have problems updating and I was getting Firefox failed to update messages.

Has Firefox done something to make the browser unstable on Apple OS systems?
