NYT site won't let me open any articles, and yes, I'm logged in. Works fine on other browsers but I'm a Firefox guy

When I click on NY Times link, I get this message: You have been blocked from The New York Times because we suspect that you're a robot. I'm just an old guy with a low tolerance level for tech glitches. Any help greatly appreciated!

I called NYT Support, which tells me it must be a Firefox issue since I can open in Chrome, Safari. I thought it might because I have the Enhanced Tracking Protection box checked, but unchecking does nothing.

Out of ideas.

Thanks. Actually the problem was I had a Firefox extension on (Bypass Paywalls) that the Times objected to. I disabled it and the site now works. Thank you for your suggestion.

Hello,

Could you please try creating a new Firefox profile and see if the problem persists there?
