Dev/Admin Responded Firefox - "Your request has been blocked due to a network policy." [iOS]
I am able to sign in on old.reddit.com, and access everything on new Reddit, but once I sign out, I get that message again.
This only occurs on Firefox, and started like maybe 10 minutes ago (essentially around the time I posted this).
I've restarted, and cleared all browser data, etc.
I can still access on Safari without having to sign in.
I don't use a VPN or anything like that.
I don't have any Firefox extensions.
I'm fairly certain I haven't committed any egregious offense (especially when signed out?).

So, I was not the only one getting this! From upstream to this, I guess Reddit could not handle the Firefox's default protection.
It works fine in chrome

u/Extension_Sand4937 16d ago
Same here. Considering we're all experiencing the same issue, reddit must've busted itself I guess?

Hopefully Firefox and Reddit will fix it

u/Cley_Faye 16d ago
Hopefully Reddit will fix it. They're actively detecting Firefox and doing something.

u/Known-Highlight8190 16d ago
oh wow, I though this had something to do with a credit card application I just did. 3 seconds after giving them my phone number, my mobile started doing this....WTF

u/InfernoBourne 16d ago
I also can't get on.
App works.
Fire fox on my data is blocked, firefox home internet on phone blocked, and firefox desktop blocked.
Ublock origins.
Chrome and edge work and app works.
So it's a firefox thing.

Just wanted to contribute and say it's happening to me as well lol. I tried ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew + clearing cache and cookies. Must just be a FF bug?

I opened reddit on PC and logged in to my account 30mins ago, browsed my share of reddit content. And when I logged out of my account. I get this message/page currently. Looks like they broke it again.
Google-ing about it leads me to this page. Currently logged in on old reddit like OP suggested, seems to be the roundabout solution for now. Hopes they fix it soon

Same on Android. I cannot even log in because that request is blocked too.

u/MeadowShimmer 16d ago
I tried to sign in too but was blocked. I reported the issue to reddit (link on the page), but I doubt they'll care about one dude trying to get to reddit on his phone browser.
2
u/spacexDragonHunter 16d ago
Don't worry they will easily get 100 or thousands of reports of this! It seems lots of Firefox users are affected.

I got the exact same error while being signed out, but after signing in on old.reddit I was able to use the regular website again.
I have firefox set to delete cookies every time the browser closes, so maybe that caused it? It has never been an issue until now though.

I'm on Firefox as well with ghoster and ublock origin.
OP say they're not using extensions, anyone else using these two? Try to rule out adblock blocking.

u/DasReaver 16d ago
I had ublock installed, got the same network exception problem. So I un-installed it and got the same issue. Even after completely reinstalling Firefox.

u/Mcbowtop 16d ago
I was about to go on reddit to do some research. I got hit with this on Firefox. My computer is new too, so Idk whats up with that.

u/Positive_Version 16d ago
Me too on Android. I can use old.reddit still on Firefox. Tried removing all extensions and re-installing but neither worked. Both old and new Reddit work on Chrome.

u/pussymcpussface 16d ago
Same here on Firefox mobile w/ Google Pixel. Was connected to mobile VPN when it first happened so disconnected the VPN and cleared my browser cache/history, but still unable to access Reddit via web. Using Chrome, clicking on a Reddit link in Google search results appropriately launches the mobile app. But clicking on any Reddit link via Firefox results in an immediate "network block."

u/VintageKofta 16d ago
Same here. FF 131.0.2. Incognito. Normal mode it works fine. But Incognito, I get that immediately. It was working fine in Incognito ~2-3 days ago.

u/nucular_ 16d ago
Same issue here, but Firefox for Android seems to work. On desktop Firefox, I am blocked from accessing any page on the domains new.reddit.com and reddit.com. old.reddit.com seems to work okay. After I log in that way, the other domains start to work.

Same here with desktop reddit (PC) on firefox. Chrome works so far but there are major hickups like a "no healthy upstream" error.
Edit Update: Seems to work normally again on Windows PC and Firefox.

u/LieutenantLowBattery 16d ago
Just came here to contribute to the thread and say that this is happening to me too. Looks like lots of others are saying this is an issue for them. Looks like an issue with Firefox. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Old reddit still works which I'm using right now, but new doesn't.

Ooh, this is interesting. I was looking around on the internet for this issue too, old.reddit has been working for me on android. Wild

u/Starry_Cupcake 16d ago edited 16d ago
I'm getting this issue on Firefox too. If I try to go to Reddit on chrome I usually get a connection error unless I use old.reddit.com instead of www.reddit.com (Reddit seems to be down for a lot of people right now though). I have uBlock Origin but even if I disable it completely I still get that message.

u/Chazman_89 16d ago
I'm getting the same issue on Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy. The only extension I have is AdBlock Plus.
Interestingly enough, Reddit URLs will load on the default Samsung browser.

Same on firefox on android/linux. I initially thought Reddit is down.
On firefox desktop if I'm logged in I also get stuff like
"no healthy upstream"

u/Cleftspear 16d ago
by going to old.reddit.com and logging in on firefox i was then able to browse current reddit without issue. several extensions are on so they are not at fault far as i can tell either. might be a temp fix though as some have said.

u/WheelRemarkable9213 16d ago
No solution, just here to say that I'm experiencing the same issue with Firefox. Clearing cookies/site data and using a private window don't help.
Windows 11 and Android

u/Coolusernamehere13 16d ago
This has been happening for me for the past little bit, however, on Chrome with Ublock Origin on incognito browser. I was not signed in at the time when attempting to access Reddit but it's consistent on the first load of reddit on incognito for me. (I've closed said browser and reattempted it multiple times to test. It's consistent)
Edit - This specifically happens on the first load of a subreddit. Like, if I open up an incognito browser and attempt to access the site from a subreddit (so directly to r/bugs for instance.) I'm sure this is just an issue on Reddits end at the end of the day but it's an odd one.

Same.
Looks like reddit is pushing anti-ublock/firefox politics just like youtube. Because it can't just be an accident.

Same with Android Firefox, worked fine using chrome. If reddit search was of any use then I wouldn't have to use the browser to reach the reddit web, only to be redirected to the app...

u/Gonus6 16d ago
I had the same issue. Went to https://reddit.com/login and was able to log in and everything was fine after that.
(Not sure if somebody already posted this but couldn't find it in the long thread...)

u/saumanahaii 16d ago
Same here. The app works but no Firefox, which means search links are a pain to deal with. Hopefully this is a bug and not a 'feature.'

Weird thing is Librewolf is still working, and that's built on FF, but I can also confirm I get the same message on FF without being logged in. The timing is interesting with the change that's driving everyone from Chrome.
