Since the forum is back to life again, I can’t use this anymore with FF on my FreeBSD laptop. I’ve set the user agent string in my FF to the same as FF on my MacBook: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/116.0 but it keeps saying: Unfortunately, your brow…

It has always been Discourse. The Purism forums had to be restored from an earlier snapshot because of a recent DDoS attack. So did you try out any of our suggestions?

I get the same message with my favourite browser on the L5: Angelfish. Also since the incident, and only on this forum. Before there was no problem. Other websites still work as they should.

Thanks for all the hints. My problem is since the incident and with only this forum. Something has definitely changed. I will update my FreeBSD and FF to a recent bleeding edge version which will take some time due to vacation.

I’m thinking the ‘fault’ lies with the website, not the browsers.

@wimdows , if you (or someone else facing the same problem) with a recent FF you could send a mail to @joao.azevedo or @dos that they look into the issue. I can’t do it because the FF on my FreeBSD laptop is outdated. And the forum works fine on my company MacBook with FF 116.0. and also with 102.1…

Ehm, I am not using Firefox. In fact I uninstalled all (well, both) browsers, and chose Angelfish instead. Oh, and the forum works properly on my Windows tablet, running Firefox (115.03).

Just to check, I re-installed Gnome Web, and it does not have any trouble with running the forums.
