[SOLVED] Help! Cannot Load Mozilla Addon Page in Ironfox (lemmy.ml)

I feel a bit silly asking this but no matter what I do, I can't load the Mozilla add-on page in Ironfox. I'm on a Pixel 8a, up to date Android, and I have changed every setting I can find in Ironfox and it simply will not load. I can get to the extension page in settings but when I click the purple button it goes to the browser and stalls. Even if I put in the base Mozilla address it stalls.

I'm just trying to install Privacy Badger!

I'd really appreciate if anyone could suggest anything that might help.

Thanks!

And? What was it? What did you see, ~~DenverCoder9~~^ ropatric?!

I see what you did there, but the solution is posted in a response to the person that suggested it! 👍🏼

I would never declare that an issue is solved and not post the solution for other users. I'm around online communities way too long for that nonsense.

Edit: I see your XKCD 979 and I raise you an XKCD 293 (but you will have to use your imagination and replace the D with a T to signify "Thread"). 😁❤️
