Embedded Links in E-mails

Just a question. I often receive e-mails from sources I have made purchases before. Most recently a notice from my credit card holder about a discount for a Lowes future purchase using their credit card. Others were from items listed by the poster. When I click on the link to take me to the item or website, I often get an error message that "Server Not Found". Even opening a new tab in Firefox, and manually entering the website, still results in the same error message. This is happening with a number of different sites, not just this one example. Is there a setting in Firefox that I need to change? Reading my e-mails on aol.com using the latest version of Firefox. Contacting some of the original posters about this, result in them saying they have no problems accessing the links via their e-mail post.

Try these in this order, testing after each:

Clear cache:

- press Ctrl-Shift-Delete (Mac: Cmd-Shift-Delete)

- set 'Time range...' to 'Everything'

- untick all items except 'Cache'

- clear, then restart FF

Disable VPN if you're using one

Change proxy settings: FF menu > Settings > search for proxy > click Settings button > try the other settings

If using proxy and UBlock Origin, in UBO settings disable 'Uncloak canonical names'

Change DNS settings: FF menu > Settings > search for dns > try the other settings including another provider
