Firefox seems to be working fine, except when I go to the Bloomberg Website it quickly changes to a warning web server failure. Started from time in China.
Firefox seems to work fine, except when I go to www.bloomberg.com. When I go to Bloomberg it loads just fine, then suddenly screen changes and it has a flashing photo and warns that there is a server failure 500.
I think this started when I was in China and went to the Bloomberg website. I think a blocker was put in to stop me from accessing Bloomberg. Unfortunately, I am not in China, but am still being blocked. I tried to delete cookies for all Bloomberg addresses but this did not work.
When I use Apple Safari, I have no problem going to Bloomberg. How can I fix Firefox for Bloomberg?
