Fox news has been my home page for years. I have made no changes to any settings in any wat, but today when I opened my browser i get this message: Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.foxnews.com/" on this server. Reference #18.9bf8da17.1646866583.3ba8ceb4 . I power cycled my system, still have the problem. I tried Microsoft Edge, everything works fine. That tells me it is a Firefox issue. OS is WIN 10, has been for a long time. I scanned through the settings and didn't see anything that might resolve this problem.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox for a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").

Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox for this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data for that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.

You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.

If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data for that website will be saved once again.

I have several versions of Firefox and had no problem with the link.


Make sure you are not blocking content.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?


Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache.

Warning ! ! This will log you out of sites you're logged in to. You may also lose any settings for that website.
