This appears to be a User-Agent sniffing issue on the server side. If I use an extension to change the user agent string to e.g. that of Firefox 86 on Windows, the website loads correctly.
If you care about this problem, please report it to Radisson so they fix their server-side parsing of the user agent string. ** Summary changed: - Unable to access a radissonhotels.com website using FireFox on Ubuntu + radissonhotels.com fails to display website because of UA string ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1917069 Title: radissonhotels.com fails to display website because of UA string Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The following error is received using Firefox to attempt to access the URL referenced below: **************** Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://www.radissonhotels.com/?"; on this server.
