Reddit only shows a black web page with the word "Blocked"

Suddenly and while Firefox was open I lost access to Reddit, all it now shows is a black page with the word "Blocked" in it. I've disabled addons, tried a Private Window and am about to do a cache flush. I'm not banned from Reddit, I can still log in on Edge and on Android apps no problem and Reddit seems to be the only page that is having this issue. There doesn't seem to be a ban or block list in Firefox that I can find, I'm at a loss as to why this has suddenly happened.

Well doing a cache flush seems to have fixed it, I don't know what went wrong or why but it seems to have been resolved.

Hi

I understand that this is an issue with Reddit at their end and has now been resolved.
