I was on the PCH site & it was working just fine, then suddenly PCH site stopped working with warning of Access denied. Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.pch.com/pchvip/instantwin-path/5k-vip-elite-experience" on this server. Reference #18.77b4117.1649995883.20189f6f

This problem happened once before on Firefox & then access was restored the next day. This is not a problem with the PCH site as I have accessed the site for years on many different servers. It is a problem with Firefox & it happened once before a few months ago. I don't know why this problem keeps occurring, but please fix this problem so I can access PCH on your server again! Thank you.

Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
