You can try to disable DNS over HTTPS.

You can check the connection settings.
- Settings -> General -> Network: Connection -> Settings
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":

There is a comprehensive article about that error (which is unique to Firefox) and possible remedies in the article linked below (you will need to remove the blank space in the link).
