Receiving SAML Error / HTTP Status 401 when logging into Mozilla Connect

I followed the instructions that Eduardo from the Mozilla Support Team sent (see below) and I'm still unable to sign into Mozilla Connect.

"Before signing back into Mozilla Connect, I recommend refreshing your Firefox installation and clearing the cookies and cache for mozilla.org in order to eliminate any potentially faulty configuration files in Firefox, as these may also be causing the connection issue you're experiencing. You can also try opening a Private Window to access Connect."

I've re-linked my Mozilla account with my Google one but I still receive the 401 error when trying to access Mozilla Connect. I have also tried the disabling Windows Defender and Nord VPN & Threat Protection Pro.

I will note that I'm able to access Accounts and Support without issue.

I don't know what else I can do, this seems like I need someone from Mozilla to take action? ---

I want to create a new one that is linked properly.
