I could not enter a URL address or IP address in this FF forum. I have entered IP address and URL sites before. Is this a new restriction on the use of this forum?

The 2 URL below I could not enter before around the end of June 2020. The below address show up even though my Mac 's FF is not connected to any URL or have any tabs open.

ec2-52-12-8-165.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com ec2-34-199-87-86.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Your thread on this is at /questions/1291912

As for links in replies https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/714262 - Update on Spam measures

There is or was a spammer that spammed fake phone support for sometime then when phone#'s were not allowed they then spammed a fake Firefox support form link. Sumo staff then decided to not allow links for a short while.

Now you can posts links but only All valid top-level domains, Mozilla links, and whitelist links will be allowed. Any not allowed gets auto flagged as spam as a Mod/Admin then needs to allow it if it is not spam.

Then for the links I have posted are they valid when FF is open with no tabs?
