Can't access website "www.powerball.com" with Firefox.

Whenever I try to access the Powerball website I get the following response - The request is blocked. 20260116T144515Z-17584c64c9f58vrnhC1MIAm1t80000000t4g00000000rcec … (read more)

Just recently I am no longer able to login to the discover.com site in private mode. It still works in regular mode. I'm using this on a desktop, not the discover app. I spoke to their tech support and tried to do a login while on the phone. They told me nothing was coming through on their end. So, what changed and how can I fix it please?

Firefox just updated, now getting ACCESS DENIED at common sites, Home Depot, JC Penney, American Airlines, United Airlines and I don't know how many more.

How do I fix this or go back to previous versions of Firefox?

Or just move to Google?

Hi

I need to block some sites through the OS Hosts file, Other browsers ( Edge, Chrome, .. ) are honoring the HOSTS file rules but Firefox bypassing them !! , I disabled the DNSOverHTTPS and all other available suggestion and options but still not honoring the hosts file !

as you can see in the attached file, the Firefox DNS Section is now blank ! but still doesn't follow the OS host file

I even made a custom policy file but still doesn't work, these are the things I disabled but still not working :

{

 "policies": {
   "DNSOverHTTPS": {
     "Enabled": false,
     "Locked": true
   },
   "Preferences": {
     "network.trr.mode": {

       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.dns.native_https_query": {
       "Value": false,
       "Status": "locked"
     },
     "network.trr.uri": {
       "Value": "",

     },

       "Value": true,
       "Status": "locked"
     },

Hello,

When I try to visit a specific journal site that requires authentication, the browser automatically redirects me to an authentication page that I have used before. This is very annoying because every time I click a link to the journal, I’m sent to the other portal and can’t access the article. I want to stress that I haven’t installed any add‑on that would cause this redirection. I think I did that myself manually but I have no idea how. I’ve already deleted the cookies for both sites, but nothing has changed. I hope that makes sense, it’s a bit difficult to explain.

I'm using firefox 147.0, on mac Tahoe 26.2.

Thanks for the help !

After moving home from college Firefox no longer works. I can open the browser, and it doesn’t crash, but websites will not load and I can’t search anything. The weather data says it is not available. I have tried everything. Uninstall and reinstall, reset, scanned for malware, reset DNS on my computer, cleared cache both on Firefox and on my pc. If I open up Chrome websites work fine. When I reset Firefox through the uninstall window, it works but if I close that and reopen it it is broken again. I am beyond frustrated and any guidance would be much appreciated.

Just seemingly out of the blue I started getting Firefox captive portal warnings. Most websites load normally but if it's a new site i.e. one I ahven't visited in a while I get the "you must log into this netrwork before you an access the internet" message. I am and have only and always been on my home wifi with this computer, it's a laptop but has never been out of my house. Forefox seems slow lately and I keep getting this message. Other browsers work fine by the way.

Cannot login to Insurance website

I am a business owner and I need to log into united health care provider portal. Mozilla will not allow me to access. I'm using this link: https://secure.uhcprovider.com/ and Mozilla will not allow me to go further. This is causing work stoppage. Chat GPT says the link is secure. HELP! I need access so I can get paid.

From Chat GTP:

https://secure.uhcprovider.com/ I checked that exact URL, and here’s the key point:

👉 secure.uhcprovider.com is actually configured with HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate—so under normal conditions, your browser should show it as secure.

So if your browser is blocking it or labeling it “not secure,” the problem is almost certainly local (your device/network) rather than a new issue with UHC.
