UPS links
Whenever I click a link to track a UPS package or even manually enter the info on their website, I get an error message stating "We are unable to complete your tracking request at this time. Please try again later." That only happens with Firefox and no other browsers. I've tried to disable pop-up blockers with the same result. Any ideas of other things I could try? Thanks.

Does it still happen in Troubleshoot Mode?
Yep. I just tried it and got the same result. Interestingly, it doesn't happen when I access it on my phone, only on my laptop.

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block content (Adblock Plus, NoScript, DuckDuckGo PE, Disconnect, Ghostery, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block content.
- make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version
Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or if userChrome.css/userContent.css is causing the problem.
- switch to the Default System theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
- do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Troubleshoot Mode start window

Try changing DNS over HTTPS to "Off" or "Increased Protection" and in Connection Settings change "Use system proxy settings" to "No proxy".
