Access Denied on some shopping sites, only with Firefox

"You don't have permission to access "http://www.vitacost.com/" on this server. Reference #18.2a18df17.1666654394.409f377" I DID see similar postings, but I didn't see … (read more)

"You don't have permission to access "http://www.vitacost.com/" on this server. Reference #18.2a18df17.1666654394.409f377"

I DID see similar postings, but I didn't see where I could say "Me Too." So I'm posting separately.

This started in the past few days, the first with a website I've been using for 10 years. No problem with Chrome. I contacted their tech support. A couple of days later it worked okay till this morning (10/24/22). This evening it's off again -- after another software upgrade.

I'm now experiencing this with a second site, which I've also used for at least 10 years with no problems.

I read in a reply or two something about "profiles." I have no idea what this is or where to find them.

Whenever I try to type in numbers on a web page, Firefox either closes the page or it opens the address bar on the browser. Sometimes it puts up a dialog box asking if I want to leave the page. It's very frustrating because Firefox is making it difficult to add a new credit card to my accounts. This started in the last few weeks, and I'm not aware of any new updates. I tried to refresh Firefox but this problem is continuing. I have a refurbished by Apple 2020 MacBook Pro running Monterey 12.4. I believe in Mozilla and would hate to go to Chrome as my main browser. Can you help me? [email removed from public]

So Mozilla supports privacy rights- and I've supported Mozilla for that reason- but they want Whatsapp to be censored for "misinformation" ? How does that go together? Whatsapp was supposed to be encrypted and not even Whatsapp was supposed to know the content of messages. How would they know about misinformation? And how do they get to decide what's misinformation now?

After restarting my pc, signed in on another windows account, which does not have Firefox installed. Then, signed in to my account, opened Firefox (Developer Edition 112.0b9 (64-bit)), however, all of the tabs, pinned tabs and history were gone. Can't restore from the menu, can't restore from the Profile folder, because files in it were overwritten when I signed in to my account (according to time modified). Anybody been in the same situation? Any advice? Thx

hello why can there not be a simple way of getting your passwords back after and up grade has lost them why is there not a simple restore button that allows novices like me to just press and reinstall , with out going through the ends of the earth on firefox todo this ? open this file then open that file, lose what has been saved and replace with another file, it is an impossible way to do this for a novice on firefox , with out paying a lot of money to a tech guy that will take a couple of minutes to do but that will take a novice months and not get it done in the end,

I keep getting a message that says on YouTube "experiencing interruptions, find out why?'. The videos pause and are choppy. When I click find out why, it's telling me to turn off my high resolution. I don't even know how to do this. My tower is connected to a samsung hd smart tv, that serves as my monitor. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. The message is constant - all day long, every day. Can you please help me fix this problem. I am a paying member of YouTube Premium. Thank you.

I have suddenly become unable to access Amazon Smile through Firefox. Google Chromr seems to work ut I don't really like it. I get the message: Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to smile.amazon.co.uk.

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.

This seems strange as I have never had this prolem until today. ps I'm not particularly computer savvy so you'd have to lead me by the hand!

It looks like firefox is set up to accept cookies. Where do we need to make the change?

I use firefox as my browser and to operate my 3d printers web interface, on my local network

with firefox the data that the printers display is very slow to update, for example if i input a movement command of say 10mm firefox takes at least a few second to display the number that corresponds to the movement change, its definitely firefox as opening the very same machine and sending machine commands in any other browser does not result in a data lag.
