Now blocked from Etsy only on Firefox

more options

Suddenly blocked from Etsy only on Firefox today. Still works fine on all other browsers. I get this error message when trying to sign into Etsy on Firefox.

Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention.

There are various possible explanations for this:

   You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
   Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
   There is a robot on the same network (IP 73.43.0.132) as you.

Let's consider these:

(1) "You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being." and (3) "There is a robot on the same network (IP 73.43.0.132) as you."

This could indicate that one of your add-ons is scraping data from the site in a way that looks suspicious.

(2) "Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer."

Firefox's Tracking Protection feature, and extensions that counter ads and tracking, may block scripts from running, especially when loading from secondary servers.

(A) The shield icon toward the left end of the address bar usually turns a bit purplish when content is blocked. Click the icon to learn more or make an exception. See: Enhanced Tracking Protection in Firefox for desktop.

(B) Extensions such as Adblock Plus, Blur, Disconnect, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, Ghostery, NoScript, Privacy Badger, uBlock Origin or uMatrix may block required elements on a site. Usually you can find a toolbar button for each add-on to manage blocked content in a page. There may or may not be a number on the icon indicating the number of blocked items; you sometimes need to click the button to see what's going on and test whether you need to make an exception for this site.
