Whenever I try to access the swisscows.com website on Firefox for Android I get a '429 too many connections' error. It works fine on Chrome, and on Firefox on my PC. I have tried deleting all data and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox but I still get the error. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like the website's fault, unless you're spamming, because that error comes from the website saying you're sending them too many requests at once.

Well yes, it is that website where it happens. The question is why? The website works just fine with other browsers and with Firefox on PC, and is a widely used search service. So there only seems to be a problem regarding Firefox on Android. I've tried it on Firefox on someone else's Android phone by the way and I get the same problem, so it's not a problem with my installation or configuration.
