Whenever launching Firefox on MacOS Ventura 13.2.1, simultaneously the App Store also launches. This was happening even before the most recent update to Firefox browser (my current, up-to-date version of Firefox is 110.0.1). Also, once the App Store has launched (on top of Firefox, as if launched after browser window rendered), the App Store gives dialog box with a message to the effect of "can't load App Store". The only recent change I can think of having done with anything to do with internet settings is having assiged DuckDuckGo as default browser (which I've been rethinking anyway). Are there some recommended steps I should attempt to get Firefox to launch by itself without dragging along an unable to launch App Store?
