Can you try pressing alt in firefox --> history --> show all history
locate the site, any single entry of it and right click and press forget about this site, and then try visiting it

Yeah i love FF, it just needs alittle here and there every now and then. At least it gives us some control of the browser, I wish the sync was better.
Want another good tip, block new notifications request here (about:preferences#privacy) in notifications settings, so nothing pops and annoys you.
And "firefox -p" is your friend

In linux is opens the profile manager, basically i have multiple profiles.
Work profile for company A
Work profile for company B
Watching/streaming profile
personal profileand you can make launcher for them like below in linux
firefox -p personal --no-remoteit look complicated, but once you start you cant stop. very benefecial to really seperate them yet at the same time they all share firefox program versions but not of the addons or prefernces

I've been using the following plugin instead of setting up separate profiles --
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

me too - I love this thing.... I have a container for each client, it makes opening O365 for each client a breeze!

Yeah, this argument reminds me of VMs vs containers, cause your separating within the app, and I'm kinda doing outside of the app. Besides this feature is recently introduced. and I used FF since 3.5 if you believe that.

LOL, I've been using it since before the version number jump - what it jumped from like 20 to 60 so they could match Chrome at the time...

OK I get that - but is there a concern here?
I use tree style tabs, but even if I didn't - I think I'd like the 'container' version better because it's all in a single pane, instead of multiple windows - and I can always drag a tab out into it's own window if I need to.
I'm not sure what makes these truly separate? are tabs all ins a single process, but multiple windows are each their own process? if so, does pulling a tab out then make it it's own process?

@Emad-R and @Dashrender lol rookies, I've been using FF since it was called Phoenix. And Mozilla Suite before that.

In Firefox, if you enter
about:profilesyou can manage firefox profiles.
