Alternative browsers not qorking on Pixel phones with the Q beta?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask this or not.

So I have tried installing other browsers from the play store that have ad blocking ability. The browsers I've tried are Samsung Internet (my previous default browser on android 9), Firefox, Firefox Focus and Microsoft Edge. When I try launching Firefox I get the following error message: "Background activity start from org.mozilla.firefox blocked. See g.co/dev/bgblock" Samsung Internet just crashes instantly upon launch. The only one I've gotten to work is Microsoft Edge. Does anyone have a work around for this? I know its a beta software but it just seems odd that the bulg of the apps that aren't working are browser apps.

I moved this to the Q forum for more specific traffic.

Same here - cannot run Firefox browser.

So, it turns out that uninstalling and then reinstalling the Firefox Privacy Browser seems to have fixed it.

For that matter uninstalling and reinstalling the Cumberland Farms SmartPay app fixed that as well.
