Internet crashing when not clearing browser and rebooting computer.

Firefox 91.02 64 bit

Alienware 15 R4 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8300H CPU @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz Windows 10 Home Version 20H10 OS Build 19042.1165 64bit Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3530.0


I used to be able to leave the firefox session going for at least a week, if not two, or more, but now, i'm having a hard time restoring the session at all... Computer losses all connection to internet when i try, but there is no indication of the connection being cut, even the troubleshooter doesn't recognize it. At this point, even clearing the browser and resetting the connection/modem doesn't bring it back, no matter what method, or browser, i use. The computer ends up needing reboot to regain connection. At this point, i'm considering a Windows Upgrade in Place.

Doh! Turns out an antitracker had updated and toggled on without showing that it was. Seems that was causing all this.

I also keep coming across a Privacy Filter that prevents me from shutting down when trying to reboot to reset the connection. Not sure what that is all about.
