Form entry disabled – all browsers (not all forms)

by gamulsjunk . Updated 2 years, 9 months ago

I have a weird issue happening that I have run out of ideas. Starting several days ago (a week maybe), my browsers in my home have not been able to enter text into a form entry field. The primary thing I have run into was trying to leave a written review in audible.com. I can select the star ratings, and I can use the text search box at the top. But I am unable to put focus in the headline and review text boxes. Around the same time, I also noticed I am unable to view the movie times on amctheatres.com. Page loads fine, I can see movies, but when I click on “Buy Tickets”, the page that comes up is only black, nothing loads.

Both started the same time and I am assuming they are related. But I am at a loss what to look at. This happens on 3 different devices (home laptop, work laptop (in home), and chrome tablet), and it happens using the following browsers: Chrome, Edge (just a different Chrome OS), and Firefox. My home laptop is not using a VPN, my work one is on my work VPN. Home uses a different internet security tool than my work laptop.

EDIT: meant to add that I am able to enter text in ebay.com to leave a written review to a seller of an item. So it is not all web forms.

At first, I thought this was something wrong with AMC theatres web page, but then when I also had problems with Audible.com, I figure this must be something going on with my systems/network. Could something be getting blocked by my WiFi provider (Verizon) or router? I WFH full time and have not gone outside the house with my devices in this time so I can not say how this works in say the local library.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts on what to check.
