Removed incorrect information, sorry folks!

No, it is definitely getting back a 403 from the server:

    HTTP/2 403 Forbidden
    retry-after: 0
    content-type: text/plain

I can't help but have a sinking feeling that this as a result of the wider trend of using only Chromium-based browsers. If they were the ones affected by this issue, I feel like it would get solved almost immediately.

Seems a bit of a dramatic take. I think Firefox has a few engineers on staff.

I 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

I don't think so, my Firefox was requesting with HTTP/2.

The wild west internet of our youths is dying, and these are the death throes.

Here is some more info: https://twitter.com/FirefoxSupport/status/148159226614171648... There is a thread on /r/firefox (Use Chrome or Edge to see it) https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/s2utvv/psa_solutio...

> Firefox has witnessed outages recently How does a browser experience "outages"? Uh... In my mind it is just a tool and any outage would have to be on the part of the server/website I am trying to browse.

It hit a bug that causes it to busyloop. It would do that even if you don't visit any site. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29918052
