I just upgraded my old laptop to a newer model desktop. I am trying to add all my previous bookmarks from my old one computer and am having trouble being able to access my work website now. When I try to login to the site, I get this error message:

Directory Listing Denied This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

I had no problems accessing this on my old computer through Mozilla, can you help me fix this problem?

You could also go to the web sites main page, then work your way to the page you want. Then create a new bookmark / shortcut.

Usually that error occurs when the website doesn't have a default page set up in a particular folder. It could be a way of hiding the actual address.

Could you compare the address you were using before in case there is something missing?

If you try the address in another browser such as Edge, does it redirect in a different way? If so, try copying the final address from Edge back to Firefox and use that one.

So, this is what I did. I kinda took both of your advice. I copied and e-mailed the link that worked from my old computer to myself, pasted it in the new web browser and it's working! Thanks!

That was very good work. Well Done.
