This is the response that I get when I attempt to go there


The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. 

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Hello, try to clear cache and remove cookies from the specific website

go from Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content > Clear Now

and for cookies go from Tools > Options > Privacy > Use custom settings for history > Cookies > Show Cookies > check the specific cookies > Removed Cookies.

also, you can try reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:

  • Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload FxReloadButton button in the navigation toolbar.

OR

  • Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows and Linux)
  • Press Command + Shift + R (Mac)

Let us know if this solves the issues you are having.

thank you

Can you post a link to a publicly accessible page (i.e. no authentication or signing on required)?

The website may try to fallback to a lower TLS version in a way that is no longer allowed in current releases or may be using a deprecated cipher suite.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and use its search bar to locate this pref:

  • security.tls.insecure_fallback_hosts

You can double-click the line to modify the pref and add the full domain to the value of this pref. If there are already websites (domains) in this list then add a comma and the new domain (no spaces). There should only be domains separated by a comma in the Value column (example.com,www.example.com).

If this helps then you can contact this website and ask them to look into this and update their security.
