Akamai Edgesuite.net - Access Denied Error Messages?
Hello,
These error messages can result from a compromised IP address which you can check here:
https://www.akamai.com/us/en/clientrep-lookup/ or here: https://dnschecker.org/ip-blacklist-checker.php?
However, this post is for the condition where these messages are received yet your IP address is clean.
I have two browsers installed Firefox and Chrome. Firefox has problems with an ever increasing number of websites (that are switching to Akamai Edgesuite) while Chrome marches on without issues.
I recently discovered the Browser User Agent identification string that is used by the server to determine what browser it is talking to. This is useful for serving content correctly to different types of devices like a phone or PC. You can find your Browser User Agent string here:

So thinking that this might be Firefox's problem I copied the string from my working Chrome installation and added it to Firefox. Unfortunately the issue continues.
So somehow Edgesuite is using something MORE than just the user agent string to kick Firefox to the curb. Does anyone have any clues as to what this might be and how to get Firefox in the good graces of Edgesuite?
Thanks, Steve
