I frequently get a "Corrupted Content Error" on cooksillustrated.com. It doesn't seem to happen on other websites. What can be causing this?

It didn't happen previously. Started recently. I can get the page to load by force-refreshing (Ctrl-F5) but shouldn't have to be doing that. Is there a problem with that website?

Your extensions are blocking what ever the site wants to give to you in the way of cookies and scripts. So find another site or will have to make rules for this site that extensions will obey or to turn them off. Not saying all but will have to experiment do to all the blocking you are doing that breaks pages.

This can be caused by running outdated software on the server.

You can get a "Corrupted Content Error" error if there are multiple location redirects send via the HTTP response headers. Firefox doesn't allow that for security reasons.

You can check the Web Console to see if that gives more detail.

NoScript seems like it could be the culprit. I reached out to them and will do some testing.
