Firefox won't load sites after change in redirection (loads fine in other browsers)
Hi--
I recently changed redirection for several of my domains (e.g. 695minnesota.com and dopesession.com)--previously, the redirection was handled by my DNS provider (DNS Made Easy), but I recently changed it to happen at the registrar level (Namesilo). It's been 72 hours since the change, but FF will not load the sites at all. Here's what I've done:
- Flushed local DNS cache (in windows, ipconfig/flushdns).
- Cleared browser cache
- requested Cloudflare (what my routers and PCs use for DNS) to purge the cache for these 2 sites
- set proxy to "none" in FF settings
- disabled DNS over HTTPS
Using IE and Edge, the sites redirect to the correct sites just fine. But FF refuses to load anything at all--I've tried various computers (and my iphone running FF) on various networks, no luck. Using the network inspector, I sometimes get a ns_binding_aborted error (on Windows). FF on iOS gives me a request timed out (NSURLErrorDomain).
I'm running FF 92.0 x64 on Win 10 x64.
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks! Sandheep

OK..the issue gets weirder...if I click on the links to the sites in question above, FF loads them no problem. But if I type in dopesession and hit ctrl-enter (or if I paste https://www.dopesession.com into the URL bar and hit enter), no luck. Oddly, if I simply type in dopesession.com and hit enter, the site loads just fine (redirect to soundcloud). So...here's the summary:
- dopesession.com - works fine
- www.dopesession.com - works fine
- https://dopesession.com - no good
- https://www.dopesession.com - no good
- http://dopesession.com - works fine
- http://www.dopesession.com - works fine
and now, doing the same test in other browsers, i'm getting similar results. ok, sorry, this is not a FF issue, please disregard this thread--sorry!

So it seems that the issue actually regards https vs http, or something similar. If I type the following into my address bar, I get different results:
- dopesession.com - works fine
- www.dopesession.com - works fine
- https://dopesession.com - no good
- https://www.dopesession.com - no good
- http://dopesession.com - works fine
- http://www.dopesession.com – works fine
(i didn't notice the issue because IE and Edge interpret ctrl-enter differently than FF does). So...sorry, the issue is not with FF, it's likely with my registrar (and "exacerbated" by FF because FF does exactly what I want it to do--transform dopesession + ctrl-enter to https://dopesession.com).
Sorry--please disregard my post.
