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.
It has already been fixed.

#122Seems 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?
It's back up now. I was hitting it a few minutes ago. Some reddit engineer must've seen Hacker News or uses Firefox.

#123Works fine for me on Firefox...

#124Same for me (Ukraine) on both Firefox on Windows and Android. Firefox Focus on Android works fine, though. As well as Chrome, Edge, etc.
It’s happening in India too, if it’s any consolation

#125I 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.
I was seeing problems in Chrome a couple hours ago. In the fancy editor it was taking seconds to echo, and the cursor would jump to the start of the text, and placeholder text was not being replaced with typed text. The older editor where you have to manually enter markdown worked fine.
I assumed they had done something that botched the JavaScript of the site. Maybe some update went badly today, and it manifests differently in Firefox and Chrome?
Anyway, whatever it was either they didn’t test well in Chrome either, or they don’t use the fancy editor themselves.

#127Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.
May not be a Firefox issue. Google uses h3 protocol and it works fine.
Firefox is back online for Firefix. Everything request from reddit appears to be h2 from both FF and Chromium, I wish I checked earlier when it was still blocked.

I use chrome and Reddit is incredibly buggy quite often. Normally old.reddit.com works, but it is shocking how badly made such a big site is.

Good to know. This new editor doesn't work at all for me in Firefox, just a frustrating chaos of random bugs.

#130How 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.
Maybe they're detecting some signature in the TLS negotiation?
