  • In Connection Settings change « Use system proxy settings » to « No proxy » = done, no results
  • Click the « Clear startup cache » button in about:support = done, no results, reset to auto detect
  • Try changing widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.settings to 0 in about:config = done, perfect first time, then no more – seems to reset at reboot
