Does anyone have information on this scam?i have witnessed this many times in the past year. i'm not sure which update started this behavior.

i try to open a page and get this message.
i switch to blaze and it opens immediately.
i switch back to firefox and still get that message.
after a few minutes firefox will open the page.

it sure seems like they have a throttling algorithm in play for websites they don't like.

Firefox uses an encrypted DNS channel. Go to Settings > Network Settings at the bottom of that dialog you will see "Enable DNS over HTTPS" and under that the DNS provider it will use, which is Cloudflare by default.

For testing purposes: A. Try changing the provider to someone else that you know will work. You can use the "Custom" option to set it to whatever DNS you like. B. Uncheck the "Enable DNS over HTTPS" which will make the browser work like any other and use your network's default DNS.

See if one of those two things fixes your problem.

Thanks, I just checked and "Enable DNS over HTTPS" is unchecked.
