Firefox 61 on Windows 10 Pro 1803 breaks some functionality in the browser.

I am just posting this here in case it turns out someone here can help me with this because I can't troubleshoot this anymore. Have been doing so for the past day. (Also posting it here in case of the very odd chance that its the adblock (ublock))
I bought a brand new laptop with no OS installed. Installed Windows 10 Pro 1803 from the official Windows iso downloaded from MS website. Activated it with the license I had, installed all the available updates.
Installed Firefox v60, and restored the profile I had backed up from the old laptop. Then updated it to v61, and updated all the extensions.
Now, I expected everything to work as it did on the old laptop, but the following issues have crept up:
1. CAPTCHA doesn't load. When I click the button to verify myself as human, the page just refreshes instead of opening the capchta puzzle.
2. Favicons don't load for some reason. Especially in the newsreader I use, called Feedly.
Both of these seem to be related, from what google threw at me, to 3rd party cookies. But I had disabled 3rd party cookies for the last 4 years I have been using my old one, and this has never happened.
Old laptop was running Win8.1 and Firefox 60. So I am thinking something has changed in Windows 10 Pro or Firefox v61, but for the life of me I can't figure out what.
Any help would be appreciated....I...I am getting too formal....HELP ME GUYS!!
