Why am I denied access to the Fox News Website?
This is the message I get Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.foxnews.com/" on this server.
Reference #18.2c781bb8.1573417368.15c1da03 I am running the version 70.0.1

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History -> Show All History" or "View -> Sidebar -> History").
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from this domain like history and cookies and passwords and exceptions and cache, so be cautious. If you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make sure to backup this data or make a note.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of involved files.
If you revisit a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

Access Denied You don't have permission to access this server. Reference #18.84a71002.1583688627.22710fa0 Never had a problem with Firefox until recently, one grief after another. I also suspect the hated windows 10. Maybe a clash of some sort
FIXED. Been at it all day. On YouTube, done all what the Gurus said, nothing worked. What did work for me was rebooting my router. I find that solution a strange one. I hope this information may help someone with the same irritating problem.

Hmm, possibly that caused your provider to assign a new IP address to the router? Usually web application firewalls block connections based on IP address.
None of the "solutions" helped me. This only happens with FireFox. I have no problems with other browsers. I would like a fix for FireFox because that is my preferred browser.
Could be your add block. Maybe disabling would help... If you have not already done it, try clearing your cookies & history etc. All so unplug your router for 60 seconds. Maybe giving your computer a good scrub with Tron Script would help. A free download. Read & follow the instructions. I use it once a month. My PC has never worked better. Many videos on YouTube explaining & showing you how it works, what to do etc. https://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Tron-Script.shtml Good luck.
rebooting router did not work. the problem I am having is in the comment section of FoxNews articles. when I click on an alert to see a response to a comment I made, I get an "access denied" message with a lot of seemingly random characters. the comment section is powered by spot.im, whatever that is.
