I go to a particular music site sometimes via a bookmark in firefox. all of a sudden I am getting message saying forbidden 403 and that I cant access it anymore from this server. what is going on? is there a solution? what may have caused it?

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
