Hi, It happened just days ago. The NY times does not let me read articles and tells me I am a bot not a human (I am a subscriber) or that someone is using my IP. I tried everything, clearing cache and data for everything, signed in again to no avail. I tried using a VPN to mask the IP... no success I have no problem reading it on Chrome, but I prefer Firefox. Does anyone have more ideas? The agent from NY times I contacted really was no help at all. Thanks
