WIKI2 extension not working in Firefox

Mandelbrot1

Good day, folks!

I mistakenly posted this query to the Thunderbird forum. It is a Firefox extension issue. [Sigh]

For over a week, the WIKI2 extension has not been working in Firefox on Linux Mint 22.3. "Normal" operation (when it's working) is for a link clicked to a Wikipedia page to be automatically re-directed to the WIKI2 rendering of that page. This no longer happens.

Further, I receive this when trying to access their web site: Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access wiki2.org

Experience has taught me, when something that has been working flawlessly suddenly stops working, to ask, "Is it me, or is it you?" I'm not about to start twisting dials to fix a problem that is on their end.

Has anyone here experienced this same recent behavior with the WIKI2 extension?

If so, I'll leave it alone until the problem is fixed on their site.

Thanks in advance,

- Ralph

I have discovered the "problem":

WIKI2.org does not like my Telus (Wi-Fi) IP address.

But WIKI2 works fine on my (wired) SHAW address.

Why? I don't know.

Perhaps I'll pursue this a little farther, and report back.

If I reach a dead-end, I'll just go watch the ball game.

Only the site operator or their security provider knows.

I believe everyone passing this thread and trying the site succeeded so nobody confirmed seeing any issues. "Works for me" as well.
