Does your Firefox update fine from the internal updater, can you download and install from the main website download page? _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

That makes no sense, and the primary mozilla file archive has traditionally always encouraged mirroring of this site.
Fast forward to today everything has migrated to the cloud so modern day CDN or literally content delivery network.

Of course it makes no sense, the proof is in the pudding that its not blocked, if direct access was blocked, there wouldn't be any mixed results between getting file listing and downloading something, then a few seconds later 404 for the same exact dir.
In any case, its quite obvious none knows the cause and just making wild guesses based on conjecture.
The best place to get an answer is contact Mozilla about it.
In the meanwhile just tried again, and it works and seems its staying that way, so looks like they fixed it.

It reminds me of the time that MSC-FE had a network upgrade done around 23-24 years ago and there was a mis-configured router between them and NAVCOMTELSTA Diego Garcia. We couldn't directly send a new email to folks on the island, but they could email us and we could reply just fine. Fun times before everything got standardized to use M$ exchange while some folks were still using Novell GroupWise, others using Lotus Domino/cc:Mail, and God knows what else. Nothing more fun than taking a boat ride ashore to go look at routing tables on Cisco gear that wasn't under my cognizance to verify it wasn't an issue on that end. Fun times back in the day when we were dialing via INMARSAT to send/receive. Can't remember if the modem was 900, 1200, or 2400 baud. Fun times. _________________ "Life is but a fleeting moment, a vapor that vanishes quickly; All is vanity"
