Amazon
My Firefox no longer supports Amazon. I must now go to Google Chrome in order to buy products on Amazon Prime. Can this be fixed?
Chosen solution
Last night I ended up doing a Firefox Refresh, that solved my problem. Amazon now displays correctly. Not really sure if it was Firefox or one of my extensions. But either way, all is well now. Thank you for your interest in helping me.

Hello! What happens when you go to Amazon's website? What error messages appear?
You could try disabling Enhanced Tracking Protection: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop

Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What are the exact error messages?
Also, check out -elison-'s advice.
I updated my Firefox on 05-05-2022 to the latest version, after that Amazon's website no longer displays correctly. The formatting is all wrong, text font is wrong and it looks like the top drop down menus are always dropped down. Trying to click on any link does nothing. Switching to Chrome, everything is back to normal viewing.
Also, I tried Elison's advise, didn't resolve the issue. I also tried Troubleshooting Mode, no resolution there either.
I tried out Amazon.com and saw no problems.

Recently, a week or so I have been unable to use my Amazon account because of formatting problems. I am attaching a screenshot of the way that the site is presented. I can not maintain or use my Amazon account the way things are now. I have never had a problem in the past before the last several days.
