I was suddenly denied access to Fox News. Checked my settings, and

Permissions was blank. (No others expired for quite a while.)
Now what? How do I get an updated preference for that particular
site?
Larry
Are you sure it was a preference and not a certificate?
Preferences do
not expire.
You are, of course, correct. It was cookies, not preferences. A
couple of cookies expired in the last day or so. Do they matter in
terms of access to the Web site? (My access to Fox News was o.k.
until today.)
Larry
It may be something other than cookies. My cookies are session
cookies only and I can view Fox News ok. At the end of each session
they are all deleted. You could try changing your UA string to
Firefox 72.0.1 instead of FF 52.0 and see if it helps.
How would I do that?
Larry
In the url bar, enter about:config
Enter general
Look for general.useragent.override and click on it.
Enter Firefox/72.0.1
Close and reopen SM and see if Fox News now works.
Make note of the changes that you made in case they do not work and
you have to remove them.
O.K., it didn't work. Still get the message "You don't have permission
to access Fox News on this server".
Any other thoughts?
And--how do I reverse the entry that I made? I entered SeaMonkey in the
space where I put Firefox, but I don't see any effect.
Larry
Did you make written notes of your changes?
If so then reverse what you changed or just clear the override line.
