Firefox Add-ons Store returns HTTP 406 Not Acceptable on direct connections, but works through a proxy

Acro

Hello,

I would like to report an issue with the Firefox Add-ons Store.

Recently, I suddenly encountered an "HTTP 406 Not Acceptable" error when trying to access the Firefox Add-ons Store. The store is completely unusable for me right now.

Here are the specific details:

Issue description: I have tried accessing the store on every network available to me, including mobile data, my office wired network, and my home wired network. Unfortunately, I get the same 406 error on all of them.

Timeline and context: Everything was working perfectly fine last week. I was able to search for and install a Markdown add-on without any issues. However, starting this week, it suddenly started returning the 406 error.

Additional troubleshooting:

I am not using a VPN or proxy. However, if I enable a proxy, the Add-ons Store works normally.

There is no antivirus software or firewall blocking Firefox's network requests.

Other websites load normally. Even mozilla.org works fine, but addons.mozilla.org does not.

I have also tried changing to other DNS resolvers, but that did not help.

Could you please help me understand why this is happening and how I can resolve it?

Thank you!

Hi Acro, I'm currently using Firefox for Android. I'm able to resolve http://addons.mozilla.org/ It redirects to the HTTPS site just fine. Checked with both HTTPS Only on & off. Would you kindly check: https://addons.mozilla.org/ Loads for you. Thanks.

Edit: sorry.. just saw your snapshot.. Are you behind the Chinese Gov firewall??
