If you use a bookmark or use a link that has specific GET data appended to the link or a page that has been requested by sending a form with POST data to open a specific page on the server then try to navigate to that page starting with the main page or the sign in page in case this bookmark/link is currently broken.

If you use a bookmark then try to navigate to that page starting with the main page or the sign in page in case there is a problem with this bookmark.

Best is to avoid bookmarking a specific page that was requested by sending POST data in a (hidden) form or bookmarking a page that has GET data appended to the URL (?xxx=xxx) or links to a specific sub domain (xx##.example.com) in case load balancing is used as such a link can easily get broken in case of changes on the server.

I got to https://in.pinterest.com/nihalanavaz/ with no problem. As a test, try one more time. Then disable your protection programs.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options)
key, and then starting Firefox. A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Is the problem still there?


Start your Computer in safe mode with networking. Then start Firefox. Try Safe websites. Is the problem still there?
