Uhh not really having any problems with me on Firefox 96 on Ubuntu. Granted I didn't have an issue with the HTTP3 bug either.

#102Looks like FireFox is actually blocking Reddit rather than the other way around. Edit: Firefox blocked the site from loading as it would have been unsafe to attempt due to the encoding problem. I wasn't implying anything else and even posted the browser's own error message. Relax. Check your console: The character encoding of the plain text document was not declared. The document will render with garbled text in some…
It's just a warning firefox is logging because the "Blocked" response is just `text/plain` and doesn't have a header specifying the character encoding.

#104Old reddit still works
That's what I use, and it isn't working for me.

Same boat. Didn't have an issue with HTTP3 two days ago, no reddit outage either. I wonder if my DNS resolver is helping somehow. I use Adguard.

#106I wonder if this is related to Firefox’ woes with HTTP/3[0] that prevented it from loading all pages the other day. Either way, events such as these are likely to cause an increase in migration from Firefox to Chrome. [0]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1749908
Doubt it. I've been accessing Reddit with Firefox v96 without issues for quite some time.

#107Seems to be working for me. Is it only blocked for users that are logged in?
Works for me too, both logged in, logged out, on old and new reddit. Maybe the change hasn't rolled out to all regions yet?

#108Waterfox is working. Must be something new that FF is doing.
... and suddenly FF is working again. Somebudy dun goofed.

#109How exactly do they determine it's Firefox? I tried it from Postman using the same headers from Firefox and I get a 200, and fidgeting with the headers in Firefox doesn't change anything.

#110Same here. Tried to fake the agent to Chrome 87 and was still blocked. Edit: 14:23EST - it's back online for me.
Oooh, so it's not user-agent it's detecting, but something else?
It seems to be an http3 issue. Trying to find a way to replicate it in a Chromium browser. I am trying to understand whether it is a Firefox specific issue, or if it's Reddit not handling the fallback.
