Why do I keep getting error messages on certain webpages?
I continually get error messages for webpages. I turn off my VPN, clear my history. Not sure what else I need to do. Last one was the webpage for Lindt Chocolate. Come on. Why am I getting error messages for this? I have been on this page before. There are other places also, like Macys. Getting fed up with Firefox.

Hi
What are the error messages that you are getting?
403 Forbidden and 54113
These are messages I get so far:
Home Depot's webpage says: Oops!! Something went wrong. Please refresh page Refresh does nothing.
Lowe's webpage says Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.lowes.com/weekly-ad" on this server.
This is very annoying. Help
Lowe's & Home Depot are blocked by Akamai, some previous threads are here:

- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1569856
(Macy's falls into the same bucket, FWIW.)
This is however something else, the "54113" code is another provider, most likely Fastly — and they basically outright block based on IP address or geographic region, e.g. even in other browsers when trying to access www.lindtusa.com from search results, I first get the "403 Forbidden" I'm attaching: … and only on subsequent visits I'm allowed in. That's their providers, deciding who to serve, and who to reject. 🤷
