Still Getting "Access Denied" on O'Reilley Auto Parts Page. Works Fine With My Windoze PC With Chrome
Still getting this error after page refresh on O'Reilley Auto Parts and a few other sites when searching. (I don't get this error when on O'Reilley com home page, but ONLY when searching for a part on O'Reilley and ONLY with Firefox on my desktop. This started just a few months ago. All ad blocks and U Block Origin are disabled). I don't get this error with Google Chrome on this Windows 7 PC or on my Android phone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks very much for the suggestion. RedFox does allow me access to O'reilley's search function and is very fast. However, the ability to customize background color and text color on ALL websites has been a distinctive and unique feature of the FireFox browser for over a decade. As far I know it's the ONLY browser that allows this critical appearance customization. Unfortunately, RedFox has adopted Google Chrome's strategy of forbidding this. (Something about, "Your setting's conflict with website colors.") I also notice that RedFox somehow automatically became my default browser after installation, although I don't remember choosing that option. Be that as it may, I'll definitely be using RedFox for the very few sites that deny my Window 7 system's access to some or all functionality. However, because I use a 46", 2010 TV as my monitor, a white background is very painful to the eyes and I'll have to stay with FireFox for the foreseeable future. Thanks again for your help.

Change over to REDFOX (r3dfox) which has been setup by Mozilla for Win7. It works.
Oh snap, let me test this.

You made it sound like it's from Mozilla.
