Firefox on my laptop redirects linkedin.com to linkedin.cn

Firefox Blocked application/service/website

I have a 100% repro rate of Firefox redirecting linkedin.com to linkedin.cn. Unfortunately there's another problem beyond the unwanted redirection: linkedin.cn no longer exits, it has been dead for years, I literally cannot reach LinkedIn at all. It was working fine a week or two ago. How do I prevent Firefox from redirecting behind my back? I see the status message (is that what it's called) in the lower left corner "Performing TLS handshake to www.linkedin.cn" and of course it only times out. I just verified with "Web" (different browser), it connects just fine, which suggests that it's a Firefox issue, not a system wide one.

Hi

If you clear your browsing history in Firefox, does that website address redirect correctly?

clearing all history would be very inconvenient :-/ I removed all instances of linkedin from the history - they were all linkedin.com, there simply was nothing about linkedin.cn o.O and it didn't work, it still redirects to linkedin.cn I just verified on my other PC, works fine

Are you using a different DNS server for Firefox and for "Web"?

Does "Web" incorporate a proxy/VPN, which may be allowing it to avoid the redirect?

>>"I just verified on my other PC, works fine" Using what browser?
