Mozilla Apparently Mis-identifies HTTPS Sites and Restricts Access?

I often get a link to a site embedded in my email that I want to go to. When I click on it I get a big notice that the site doesn't support HTTPS and Firefox won't let me go there. HOWEVER, the full address of the site is seen in the address bar, with HTTPS:// as plain as day. If I bypass the Firefox warning and go there anyway, it makes an HTTPS connection. If I go there with another browser it makes an HTTPS connection.

Why is Firefox wrongly identifying these sites as not supporting HTTPS?

I get the same thing when I try to go to my companies Sharepoint site or any links saved as book marks to the sharepoint site.

Hmm. Weโ€™re having trouble finding that site.

We canโ€™t connect to the server at xxxxxxxxx.sharepoint.com.

If you entered the right address, you can:

Try again later
Check your network connection
Check that Firefox has permission to access the web (you might be connected but behind a firewall)

Chrome still works fine and any other site in firefox works as well.

This happened after firefox updated and installing aWindows OS update -

2023-09 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5030310)

Maybe Microsoft broke it, wouldn't be the first time.

Hopefully Mozilla puts another update out fast to fix it.
