The bug has been fixed as of 21 mar 2025... in about:config use search term alpn
Make sure its TRUE. Upgrade to 128.8 esr will not break.

With help from bugzilla.mozilla.org I have found the culprit to the broken tests/security-lapse.

In about:config use search term alpn
The setting was FALSE in my set-up.
It must revert to TRUE (default setting).
Upgrade to 128.8.0esr recommended after the repair.

But still... the ONLY thing ...

When I opened a new tab, it slowed a bit, otherwise A-OK.
One strange thing I note... after FF fingerprint.resists are set-up, ALL website clocks read UTC/Iceland. Puppy-OS clock correct.
This by design.

Thanks 4 all u do

FireFox esr is certainly useful with the tweaks mentioned. Don't be lazy, fix it. I note that FF will report 100% unique, BUT change evey time the browser closes then opens... thus altering the fingerprint EVERY time. Of course hiding amongst the common is tantamount to Chrome/Android w/o security ...

2FA is IMHO a hoax when using a smartphone to do BOTH factors. One needs a linux computer (Puppy w/firewall and fiberoptic: wifi=OFF), and a dumb(flip) phone. Two devices for 2FA.

N97

Having your puppy firewall is a good start, but the browser can be a SIGNIFICANT problem. about:config is your friend.

1.) autocomplete and typeaheadfind need to be FALSE.
2.) Telemetry needs to be FALSE except for addons and certs, urls to 127.0.0.1 ditto for send
3.) Fingerprint needs to be TRUE ...

@OP... best idea to come down the pipe. Not all forums are soc. media. Musk is squirming like a worm... especially if it catches on, with removal of all under-age accounts in existance.

Firefox... in about config search for telemetry... FALSE almost all options( EXCEPT extensions), and set url to 127.0.0.1 a rather intuitive read
Then search for send and repeat.

my condolences re: android, google, Windows, microsoft, etc.

sorry for dbl-post, but there IS a way for us to pay for all this AI spying... THE ELECTRIC BILL !!!
