You have been blocked - Etsy

[hoosierquilt]

About 3 days ago, I started to be denied access to Etsy and a couple of other sites, I am assuming use some sort of security software that is mis-detecting Firefox in some way.  The error I get (see attached file) is telling me there is a robot on my network (which there is not), that I am browsing or clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human. Or, something is preventing JavaScript from working on my computer.  I don't get this with any other web browser - just Firefox.  Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue with Etsy suddenly! Started yesterday. I went to contact support but it blocked me there also!

Same.  Youtube is not working either.

I'm having the same issue with Etsy and also with the verify you're a human when I try to order food delivery with Olo. If I switch to another browser it's fine

I am another user having the same issue. Access blocked on Etsy. But only with Firefox. Etsy works fine with Chrome.

It seemed to be fixed the last couple of days, but now back to "You've Been Blocked".  I reported this to Firefox, they told me to do all the regular "stuff", which I told them I already had done (cleared cache/cookies/history).  Told them I am not the only one.  To read on this forum that many others are having the same issue with several websites, not just Etsy.  Firefox needs to fix their security protocols.

It’s a bit frustrating, kind of like showing up to a busy Texas Roadhouse only to be told there’s no table available, even though you know you’re just a regular customer waiting to be seated — just like checking the online waitlist at https://thetexasroadhousemenu.com/

I’m also encountering the same issue with Firefox being blocked on sites like Etsy. I keep getting flagged as if I’m a bot even though everything works fine on other browsers. JavaScript is enabled, but the error still shows up. Following this thread to see if a solution comes up.
