Have you tried installing broadcom-sta-dkms? Open a terminal and run the following.

sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms

Then reboot your system en see if your wireless is working, if it isn't open a terminal again and then
share the output of the following.

ip a
lspci -nn | grep -i net

[begad]

Are you using Firefox?

edge browser

 

[f33dm3bits]

edge browser

I think your browser profile may be corrupted, you can try to rename or delete whatever directory has your browser profile stored and then open the browser again.
