Don't know if this is related, but thought I'd add it.
I also reported this as a website issue off the Bugzilla Main page...

TL;DR: USPS login page now seems to require wasm.

I have had "wasm" disabled in the Firefox "user.js" and on the Chrome command line for, like, forever and haven't encountered any problems. Recently, around June 18, 2024, the login to the USPS.com site (https://reg.usps.com/login) started failing with the page simply flashing grey and then being re-displayed. I tried in Chrome and Edge and it worked in Edge. I then remembered that I had "wasm" disabled in Firefox and Chrome and re-enabling "fixed" the issue in both browsers and I was again able to login.
