Got in instantly with my browser by spoofing as FF 145 (browser is
Pale Moon).  Resetting to default (i.e not spoofing, and I'm 403'd again.

To be sure it wasn't some plugin I run, I set up a completely clean
profile and had the same issues with the same cure.

Checking what version of Ff-esr is available in bookworm (140, I
believe), that should be able to get in to lists without issue.  So,
Thomas may well be experiencing something different.

Based on what Thomas wrote in reply (here) to my post, I'm guessing he
isn't knowingly altering the user agent string.
