Works. There's a car in front of a house. The house has a terra-cotta
roof and there's a white login box with a red "Continue" button.

You likely have Javascript and/or cookies turned off or are using some
other type of privacy setup. Almost all modern websites now require
Javascript and cookies. If you are behind Tor, a VPN, or some other type
of proxy that might be another reason. If you want to debug this, you
can turn on developer tools (or whatever they call the debugging console
on your browser) and watch the requests as you try to load the page.

Slackware Current, Librewolf 149.0.2-2, no proxy/VPN/etc. If it works
with Librewolf, then it should work with FF because Librewolf is more
strict about privacy (Ubo is on by default). 

PS: Can you change your newsgroups crossposting and follow-ups? I'm not
subscribed to comp.os.linux.advocacy and having a problem with Gnu/Linux
isn't exactly advocacy.
