Popping the link into Google Chrome opens the Hints page ok. I have tried clearing the cache and disabling all add-ons to Firefox but nothing helps. I am using the latest versions of both Legacy and Firefox (78.15.0esr). So, may I ask I. L. Thomas, what browser are you using? Are any other users having this problem? Has anyone found a solution?
