Usually if a browser seems to be blocked on a schedule, it is because of parental controls or screen time restrictions set outside the browser. Does that seem possible on your computer?

Some Firefox settings that affect how it connects include the proxy setting and the DNS over HTTPS setting. You could try some changes there:

Open the Settings page using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Settings (previously "Options")
  • type or paste about:preferences into the address bar and press Enter to load it

In the very tiny search box at the top of the page, type proxy and Firefox should filter to the "Network Settings" section.

Click the Settings button, select "No Proxy" near the top of the dialog, and click OK near the bottom of the dialog.

Any difference?
