I am trying to access a site for a public utility in Israel, with the country-level domain .il. Firefox continually reports this as '403 forbidden'. I've cleared the cache, which did not solve the problem, but am reluctant to take other measures since I don't know their side effects.

Is this an anti-Israel setting created within Firefox as part of a BDS campaign? Or has the system been hacked by BDS supporters or similar.

Hi

I am sorry but I do not know who BDS are, but it is very unlikely that Firefox is deliberately blocking websites for political reasons.

What is the address of the website that you are trying to view?
