Firefox no longer working correctly

There are several sites that used to work well with Firefox, but now they don't. Links from one place to another within the web site have stopped working. I tired allowing pop-ups for the web site, and allowing all pop-ups, but neither of these work. The 2 sites are MyHealtheVet and JCPenney.

I can access both sites correctly using Microsoft Edge, but I prefer Firefox.

How can I troubleshoot and/or fix this?

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

Turning off enhanced tracking protection does not help. This problem only started up a couple of days ago. I'm running Firefox 100.0 (64 bit). And smartblock appears to have been an enhancement last year, so it probably doesn't apply.
