I subscribe to to the New York Times morning briefing newsletters. Each one includes a link to "today's print front page" - they are very long links - see below. A few days ago, they stopped working. A NYT agent said it works for him and that I should try a different browser. Is there any reason why these links might have recently stopped working in Firefox? Thank you.

The link downloads a PDF file.

I have several versions of Firefox and had no problem.


Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
