Thanks, that is very interesting ...

I got that latest version installed on Dec 1st, per /var/log/apt/history.log:

Start-Date: 2023-12-01  09:50:11
Commandline: apt full-upgrade
...
Upgrade: ..., firefox:amd64 (120.0+build2-0ubuntu0.20.04.1,
120.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.20.04.1~mt1) ...

But I had Maps and the other site work fine since Nov 29th after
disabling NoScript and User-Agent Switcher.
