I'm experiencing different adblocking behavior between PC and MacOS

I use Firefox, and normally run a combination of UBlock Origin and Disconnect on both my personal PC and work Macbook. I have all of my Firefox profile settings and extensions synced, so the browser environment on both computers should be exactly the same save for possible under the hood differences due to the different OS.

However, I've just started experiencing an issue ONLY on my PC, for both Crunchyroll (which I HAVE a subscription to) and Hulu (which I have the basic with ads subscription), where the the media fails to load with with some error code. On my Macbook though, there's... no issues with playing things on either site.

I'm pretty sure the issue is related to these sites detecting the adblockers and denying me access (despite the fact that I pay for Crunchyroll), but I'm puzzled as to why this is only affecting my PC and not my Mac. Does anyone know anything about why there's this discrepancy, and/or how I might fix this issue on my PC?
