Access Denied On Some Websites

It happens for Lowe's and CVS websites when I try to do a product search (see attached screen shot as an example). Home Depot says, "Oops! Something went Wrong". I tried the computer at the library and the same thing happens.

 

https://www.cvs.com/

https://www.lowes.com/

works for me.

Try this clear your web history.

Than go to start type CMD for command prompt.

While in command prompt type ipconfig /flushdns

Than restart.

See if that fix's the issue.

 

I occasionally get messages like this when I'm working from behind a VPN. A quick disconnect and I'm off and running.

 

If you are running an ad blocker like uBlock Origin, whitelist those sites.

 

i run like ublock / ad guard and adblock plus did not have any issues in Firefox nightly.

every thing loaded up fine for me.

Here is a link if you want to try it.https://www.firefox.com/en-US/channel/desktop/

They all so have nightly for android as well and can use the same adblockers.

I all so have google don't track me as well and a bunch of other stuff for you tube.

Oh and FYI nightly is updated all most every other day.

 

DNS flush didn't help. Since the library computer does the same thing, perhaps it's a ISP issue since they use the same one as I do. Another search suggested I may need a new IP address since these sites my be flagging my address as malicious. I don't know why they would.

It may also help to know I have a really old desktop running Windows 7. My browser ids Firefox 115.35.2 esr (64-bit). I only have Firefox and Internet Explorer installed. I hesitate to use IE, though.

 

Firefox ESR is up to 140.10.2. Ah, I see, you're restricted to the 115 branch because of Win 7. It requires at least Win 10 to update to the 140 branch.

From a security point of view..... ouch.

 

Command prompt cmd.

I would reset modem and the wifi router at the same time

Then do this command and restart.

This will release the IP
ipconfig /release

This will renew the IP
ipconfig /renew

I would all so reset the modem and router as well for a new IP and see if that works.

Most modems newer will take about 5 mins to reboot.

When you type "ipconfig /renew" into the command line, that command orders your DHCP client to renegotiate an IP address lease with the DHCP server on your router. On a Windows computer.

 

it can just have to find a older version.
List of older builds that can be downloaded goes back to 2004.

I would have to test it in a VM but i think the 8.0 versions do work in windows 7

And i am sure they would auto update to the latest version which is 152.a1

 

@plodr, try here:

Dunno if it'll work for you or not, but it was the only one I could find that looked promising.
