Conservative sites return "connection was reset" in Firefox, but not in Edge.

Is Firefox "shaddow banning" conservative sites?

Hi

Are you saying you are unable to access some sites at all or is this an issue once on a website?

Do you have an example of a site where you are having a problem so that we can try to replicate the issue?

This issue has occurred over several days for the following sites: townhall.com, dailycaller.com, conservativetribune.com, gatewaypundit.com and some others.

I have also been receiving "access denied" notices regarding Publishers clearing House sites.

In all cases, switching to Edge has provided immediate access to the sites.
