More and more websites will not open in Firefox.

I'm getting totally disgusted with Firefox, Windows 11. FF updates automatically. More and more websites will not open when I'm using the browser, and they open just fine when I switch to another. Since I have used Firefox ever since its inception, it's extremely distressing. It doesn't matter if I turn off ad blocking and tracking software. The latest site that won't open is Substack, which works perfectly okay using the Brave browser. This is probably the 10 instance this month of a website that does not work with FF, including once that always did work just fine.

Other changes are also annoying, but I'll save them for another complaint.

Hi

What happens when you try to open Substack in Firefox? Is there any error message?

No error message. After what seems like an eternity, Substack produces this (see screenshot). Other websites eventually produce a strange page just with text that includes what looks like links in blue, but really aren't. Definitely not the way a website is supposed to appear. Many other sites just spin and spin and the blank page never populates. But all of these sites open in other browsers.
