One site suddenly requires private browsing
All of my "Top Sites" open fine except MeWe. I have used the top site link without problems for months, but suddenly, today, selecting MeWe will not work. Every other top site opens fine. When I select MeWE, absolutely nothing happens; no error message. I can reach the site if I select a private window for browsing.

Hi!
May I ask if you're using any add-ons? If Yes then it sound like one of those/it are blocking it the site (for some reason) and when you go into Private browsing the add-on is disabled there by default.

No new extensions, turned off all of the existing extensions to troubleshoot. Also turned off hardware acceleration. BTW, the website will not open if I manually type it into the address bar. On the new tab, the tiny Firefox icon blinks once, but nothing opens.

I am having these same problems.
>>This issue can be caused by corrupted cookies or blocked cookies. >>check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools -> Page Info -> Permissions"
Since the page does not load at all, there is no permissions shown. https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2021-05-25-14-56-04-d74613.png

This does nothing except clear mewe.com from the URL bar. I feel that since the page never ever loaded, there is no way that it can "reload."
>>Clear the Cache and remove the Cookies for websites that cause problems via the "3-bar" Firefox menu button >>(Options/Preferences). >>"Remove the Cookies" for websites that cause problems:
I have cleared the entire cache and removed all mewe.com cookies. No luck.
>>Start Firefox in Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions >> ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or >>userChrome.css is causing the problem.
Nope. Running in Troubleshooting Mode does not enable MeWe.com to open.
>>switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
Already using Default theme.
I can only open MeWe.com in a private window.
Kirk, I had to remove ALL my cookies. Removing just the MeWe cookies did not solve it.

Yep, that did it. Thanks. Kirk
