Getting a 403 on addons.mozilla.org
Hi, I'm getting a forbidden message when I tried to access the addon store just now. I tried accessing it with a VPN and it works. So I'm getting a feeling that I am banned or blacklisted. But WHY?! Can anyone help?

Hello acclotephoacc, Try this article: http://bit.ly/htg403FFF It might help! If not, tell me. Stay Safe!
Hi Tommy, Thanks for helping me out. But no, it doesn't help. Firefox had banned me somehow to access the addon page. I have an extension listed on the store. Maybe it was the reason I got banned? But it still doesn't make sense coz I can access it with a VPN.
