Chosen solution

https://my.nordaccount.com/setup/ This is the URL downloading NordVPN from, have downloaded it annually for years. I am not aware of any block software on my system, using Win 10 on a PC I changed Firefox browser setting from strict to standard and it still "failed"

Solution found: changed Firefox setting from :HTTPS-Only Mode" to "don't enable HTTPS mode"

There are hundreds asking the same question via google search, now you know the solution. Thanks, please close file.
