Firefox won't let me long into "https://www.budsgunshop.com"

[JustEd]

M1 Macbook Air running Firefox and get a "Bad Request" error when trying to bring up Bud's Gunshop.   --   https://www.budsgunshop.com

Thought it might be a syntax error but logged into Bud's Gunshop using "Safari" on same computer and it worked fine,  Then cut and pasted the address from "Safari" back into "Firefox" and go the same "Bad Request" error. 

Have noticed the same thing when running "Firefox" on my iPad Air.  Doesn't seem to want me to log into Buds Gunshop while Safari allows it.

So, any thoughts or can I just call it a _onspiracy of the unwashed elite?

 

ps:  This has been going on for a couple of months,  Used to work on both machines,

It's something specific to your connection or with your setup.  It works for me.

Yes I know,  I works ok on my ancient iMac 27" Intel machine connected to same network,  iPhobe 13 works too,  Just not on M1 MacBook Air or iPad,

That's why I asked...it is WEIRD!

 

ps:  What are you running and what is the version number of your Firefox?  Am thinking it is something about how it runs on the M1 chip

Firefox 110.0 (64-bit) on a Windows 11 laptop.

You might disable all of your FireFox plugins and see what happens.  It could be something funky going on there.

Appreciated,  Suspect the problem is Firefox implementation on M1 Apple system,  My iMac is Intel and Firefox goes to Buds on it just fine,

I found an article indicating it could be a corrupt cookie, so you might want to try clearing the cache and cookies.  Unfortunately, I can't find it again to post it here.

That’s great advice Ski. Will try it and see if it works

Try using a private window. By default, most addons, etc won't carry over to that mode. If that works, it's a cookie or something you have installed.

I run several privacy extensions. Occasionally those will break some functionality

Same issue with my Android phone.

As suggested opened a private window and was able to log into Buds Gun Shop online.

So as suggested cleared cookies and some history as well.  Now can log into Bud Gun Shop USUALLY,

Every on in awhile just typing in budsgunshop.com and hitting return takes me to another gun site also called buds...weird.

Am thinking of changing search engines.

But thanks to all for the suggestions.  At least now I can use firefox to shop for toys.

Sounds like cache or user error. No offense of course, that's just how it is. We've all done it.  Just make yourself a bookmark to https://www.budsgunshop.com/ specifically and avoid the hassle.

Fun story, early in my IT career i was helping a customer remotely who got a malicious website every time he went to google. I spent hours helping him pour over his computer looking for browser hijacks, malware etc. After 2 FULL HOURS I was out of ideas, then i glanced at the bottom of the screen and saw the familiar "GOOOOOOOOOGLE", so I said "Sir, please spell google for me. Frustrated, he says "G-O-G-G-L-E". Um sir, that's goggle, like the ones you wear. It goes quiet for a second and he yells "F____K!", thanks me and hangs up.
