'Your browser is being managed by your organisation' This appears at the start of settings on my computer, which is a personal computer & not an organisation. The issuer name of the certificate is 'Internet Security Research Group' - Common name ISRG Root X1. Subject name organisation is 'Let's encrypt' (R11). I have recently been finding a frequent inability to access websites, such as DuckDuckGo search , as well as others, being labelled inaccessible. This is often followed by a loss of internet signal, and I have to shut down completely, then restart. I am beginning to suspect that ISRG Root X1 / R11 are responsible for limiting internet access by my personal computer. How do I turn off this organisation and Your browser is being managed by your organisation' from my computer, please?

You can click the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification or open the about:policies page to see if policies are active and if errors are reported.

Seeing the "Your browser is being managed by your organization" notification at the top of the Settings page is usually caused by security software that uses GPO policy rules or uses a policies.json file in the distribution folder in the profile folder to inject their root certificate (ImportEnterpriseRoots) in Firefox to be able to hook into your internet connection to prevent getting a connection not trusted error message.
