HSTS Security Risk for Bsky.app?
Hello,
Since this morning, I haven't been able to access Bsky on my laptop because of a supposed HSTS risk, which means I can't add an exception to visit it. I use Firefox on my Android and going to the mobile version of the website lets me in no problem, so I assume there's an issue with my laptop.
I'd usually wait a few days and let it solve itself but just in case it's something on my end, I'd like to solve it! I'm on 151.0.4 (64-bit), don't use a VPN or an anti-virus, I have a couple of privacy add-ons but they've been here forever and they've never caused a fuss. I can post a screenshot of the error code and the certificate it sends me if it's any help.
I'd appreciate any pointers! Thanks!

Hi, since the site seems to load as expected from a few places I tried, this might be just a plain connection error in disguise. Would you try changing some of the settings in Configure DNS over HTTPS protection levels in Firefox — e.g. if it's disabled try enabling it for a bit or vice versa, if it's enabled change the provider selected or the protection level.
If you open the full https://bsky.app URL with the protocol specified like here, is the error the same or you get a different wording? (Any "advanced" sections you can expand and paste the error here or attach an image?)
