Update mess
Why can I suddenly NOT get a link to New York Times articles to open since the last update. It accuses me of being a bot!

Hi! This sounds like an issue with your browser’s User-Agent or a security filter on the New York Times site. After the latest update, Firefox might be getting flagged as suspicious.
Try this:
1. Open about:config in the Firefox address bar.
2. Search for: privacy.resistFingerprinting
3. If it's set to true, change it to false.
4. Restart Firefox and try again.
Also try:
Opening the link in a Private Window (Ctrl+Shift+P).
Temporarily disabling extensions like uBlock, Privacy Badger, etc.
Checking if you're using a VPN or proxy, which might trigger blocks.
Hope this helps!

It was already on False. I don't have those extensions. (I just have an adblocker that I've had forever and it has never been a problem.) And I do have a VPN. NYT has always worked with the VPN, and nothing changes if I turn it off. This is what I keep getting, attached.
