Site access

I normally access lemonfool using Firefox on my phone but this morning I just get a blank page after I hit return (no error message). I've tried it four times. Other websites seem to be working fine using Firefox. I can still access lemonfool using Tor. Does anyone know why I'm having problems using Firefox today? I have an ad blocker on Firefox.

I have two ad blockers in Firefox but if I disable them I still get a blank page. I could try clearing the Firefox cache, restarting Firefox, installing the latest version of Firefox, ...

Seems to be working fine using the Chrome browser. C.

No issues with Firefox and TLF here this morning.

All working fine for me using Firefox on both my Android 12 phone and my Win10 laptop.

Unlike other browsers Firefox doesn't have built in error pages for most access errors, preferring to just show a blank page. My suspicion is that there are some DNS and/or gateway issues with your phone or the gateway it connects to or the routing thereafter or possibly a VPN issue. What happens if you try Chrome instead? (Or any other browser that goes direct, rather than through the TOR network, and gives actual error messages rather than just blank pages).

Yes you're right. Chrome gives an error message (instead of Firefox's blank page):

"This page isn’t working
lemonfool.co.uk took too long to respond.
HTTP ERROR 504"

Firefox has mysteriously started to work again with lemonfool. I can't see that I've changed anything on my phone that might have fixed the problem.
