Do I understand correctly that Imperva is security software the site

SeaMonkey team at least needs to take steps to prevent this from
locking up the browser as is happening now. I know how to kill the
process with Task Manager, but less computer-savvy users may be stymied.
I assume your browser access is not being blocked and it's the actual
page that's failing. The Imperva access denial page is very clear, as
the Don describes.
We don't really know why Imperva is blocking access. I did a web search
on "website blocked by imperva" and one of the first links it threw up
was
https://docs.imperva.com/bundle/cloud-application-security/page/error-codes.htm
Another was
https://docs.imperva.com/bundle/cloud-application-security/page/settings/security-settings.htm
- that could maybe help more.
There's a list of Client IDs and their codes in there, Firefox is 1,
Seamonkey is 45.
When I try and access https://www.jewelosco.com/ I get Error 16 and the
first link gives that as
The request was blocked based on your security settings (Bot Access
Control or Block Specific Sources) in the Cloud Security Console. For
details, see Web Protection - Security Settings.
Looking that one up (the last part of that text is a link), Block
Specific Sources can be used to block countries, IP-ranges or URLs (!).

As UA spoofing is ineffective it's likely that we are being blocked for
not being in the US and so not sufficiently interesting to the deluded
site owner as potential customers. Apparently if a US resident goes
abroad and wants to schedule a delivery for his/her/zer return he/she/ze
has to have a US VPN.
