I have this issue on several normal commercial sites. Access denied, you don't have permission...

Latest FF release 79.0. Not using VPN, but still happens with VPN/any server. Spectrum.com, Lowes.com to name a couple. The sites work with other browsers, but I simply don't trust any of them. Sometimes, Spectrum.com will load with scripts blocked, but as soon as I temp allow in noscript, the site breaks. I regularly clean out temp files, cookies, etc with a cleaner as well as not saving anything on exit. Caches and such should be sparkling clean.

Ideas? I really hate to purchase things using another browser, but this has persisted for months.

There is security software like Avast, Kaspersky, BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connection certificates and send their own.
