[Mozilla Enterprise] Can Mozilla change settings like Google?

[Mike Kaply]

That error message you are seeing doesn't exist in Firefox 68. Can you
verify the version?

That change was made in this bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1461195

and is only in Firefox 78 and later.

But previously, the page would still have not loaded, you would have just
not seen the option to open the site in a new window.

Can you also turn off tracking protection and see if that's causing it?
