Firefox support page keeps giving me an error message over a period of many hours

I posted a question on the Firefox support page, and a support volunteer responded but his posting was not helpful and so I tried to post a reply. However, I tried several times over a period of many hours, and was not successful because I kept getting a message that said "Oh, no! It looks like an unexpected error occurred. We've already notified the site administrators. Please try again now, or in a few minutes." Some of the times that this occurred were at approximately 3:30 AM, 10:35 AM, 11:01 AM and 11:10 AM (Central Standard Time). I also tried using a different browser and still got the same message. 

  What can be done to correct this problem?

Is it this thread:

https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1439847

Maybe it's a problem with the site, I don't know, I post intermittently. But as a general suggestion:

Cache and Cookies: When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

(1) Clear Firefox's Cache

See: How to clear the Firefox cache (only select Cached web content, don't clear all cookies and site data)

If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, click the lock icon at the left end of the address bar. After a moment, a "Clear Cookies and Site Data" button should appear at the bottom. Go ahead and click that. Firefox will ask you to confirm; go ahead and confirm.

Then try reloading the page and signing in again. Does that help?

Helpful?
