We understand. You do not seem to understand that getting a hotspot
login page to you requires trickery, and that one common form of
trickery is to muck about with the DNS. That's why everyone is so
focussed on getting you to do some simple tests and tell us what
happens.

It is *possible* that FF is the culprit, but it is much, much, much more
likely that the problem lies elsewhere.

You seem unwilling or unable to carry out simple tests.
