The only thing I found in settings was tracking. I changed it to custom and unchecked everything. It always fails at the login screen. Either before or after I enter my credentials.
Other pages work fine.
Anyone using Firefox?

Upgrade to a 64 bit virus. Anything in F12/errors? Maybe it's the web page cross domain or something and firefox has upgraded their security model. Sandwich menu button->settings->security and put it in stupid mode, scary but it might work.

I don't really get on the upgrade treadmill. I've been running Firefox 84 on Fedora 23 or something for awhile. Its in a VM I had a system issue with the host and had to do a reinstall and upgraded to fc 36. Everything was fine, running my fc 23 VM's on a fc 36 host. I'm on a different VM, my "fun" VM as I write this, which also runs Firefox 84 on fc 23 with no problems. I'll upgrage at some point.
The VM with the issues is my "finance" VM. I use it for my credit cards and banking and all that. Banks started to complain about my Firefox 84, so I tried to upgrade to 113. It crashes. A lot. So, I built a new VM with fc 38. And installed Firefox 115. It crashes almost immediately. But I was able to get some forensics. Its complaining that it is sending a 64 bit code to a subsystem that "doesn't support it". Implying that there is a 32 bit library somewhere.
I sort of do need to log in to banks and all that. Any thoughs or suggestions? It seems really unlikely that there would be a 32 bit library somewhere.
Desktop browsers and Firefox are getting increasingly less mindshare. Is this just EOL thrashing?
Any thoughts?
As you may have guessed, the hardware is pretty old, but I don't see where that would be an issue with this.

Firefox 102.13.0esr (64-bit) on Slackware Linux 15.0. Stable as a rock. You didn't say what your "finance" VM is running. Try posting contents of /etc/os-release (or, /etc/redhat-release) and the output of ldd /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin.

Doesn't Firefox have an elaborate crash reporting / bug reporting system built in? Does it activate?
Any error messages? Have you tried enabling core dumps?
How about run it from the command line and look for output to stderr?
About:support was very interesting. I wasn't aware of it, but have used about:performance, about:config, and about:memory in the past. It told me that the error was in CanvasRenderer, which doesn't help a lot. I tried dumping and refreshing various things, but the issue still persisted.
Then I rebooted in troubleshooting mode. Seems stable. At least I've done the things that made it crash before and it hasn't crashed yet.
So it looks good.
Thanks!
I'll just run this way for now.
I had installed Devian 12 and Firefox under it. I used their 102esr version of Firefox. It seems the focus of the esr releases is different that what I was lead to believe when I first encountered them using the rPi. Regardless, it still crashed.
This caused me to believe that this is a Firefox issue and I had started to go over to using Chrome, which was working just fine. But, after entering troubleshooting mode, I'm back using Firefox and we'll see how it goes. I'll have to find the actual culprit at some point, but I have time and can get my business done for now.
Interestingly, Debian gave me a 1600x900 display that works very nicely for me, but is not available through Fedora 38. This strikes me as really odd, since these options are supposed to be driven off of what the hardware will support. It must be some X probing or database weirdness, but it is too bad, since I'm back running fedora with the buttons at the bottom slightly cut off LOL.
