@minger I‘m not sure where you are are at, sorry.
From what I understand is that you have issues to post in the forum, right?
If so, could you please share a screenshot of the error along with the exact OS & browser you are using.
I‘m actually very confused how you managed to post the above at all if you are facing issue and also what you try to communicate with the above log or whatever this is.
Could you please explain more verbosely.
THX!
Yes, I have issues posting to the forum. When trying to post, I get the answer below.

I managed to post using Chromium.
Exact OS browser is
FF version is 110.0.1 (64-bit), on Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (64 bit), reproducible when all extensions are disabled.
All this information has already been stated above.
The longer post is the FF network logs (ctrl-shift-E).
I am posting from the Netherlands, Eindhoven area. The only explanation I can come up with is IP + User agent blocking.
when using FF, and setting user agent = windows chrome 87, I still could not post
I set the user agent in FF exactly the same as it is in chromium (where it works)
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/111.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
and I still got an error
@minger Thanks for your feedback. We are using the wpforo.com wordpress plugin as forum software.
As we are using this forum plugin for more than three years without any problems, I suspect something „special“ among your browser.
I‘ve just checked the wpforo support forum and found this: https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/error-2252-please-contact-to-forum-admin/
This maybe hints to the source of error: You might be blocking the Referrer in FF. Please double check your browser config and make sure the Referrer is not blocked / send properly.
Regarding „Referrer blocking“ please also cross-check this blog post: https://eblocker.org/en/magazine/tips-and-tricks-for-eblockeros/
THX!
@minger I‘ve just checked the Firefox documentation an suspect you’ve manually modified the default referrer policy:
See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy
(or just read the following)
You can configure the default referrer policy in Firefox preferences. The preference names are version specific:
- Firefox version 59 and later:
network.http.referer.defaultPolicy(andnetwork.http.referer.defaultPolicy.pbmodefor private networks) - Firefox versions 53 to 58:
network.http.referer.userControlPolicy
All of these settings take the same set of values: 0 = no-referrer, 1 = same-origin, 2 = strict-origin-when-cross-origin, 3 = no-referrer-when-downgrade.
THX!
Thanks @Random, I have been checking the network.http.referer.defaultPolicy and sub-attributes. These are all set to 2 = strict-origin-when-cross-origin for me, which appear to be the default, as per https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy
I do remember configuring something about referrers for a better privacy, so I looked up the modifications in FF / about:support. What I found suspicious is the network.http.sendRefererHeader = 0
according to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Referrer
- 0 = never send the header
- 1 = send the header only when clicking on links and similar elements
- 2 = (default) send on all requests (e.g. images, links, etc.)
if this message gets posted then setting network.http.sendRefererHeader = 1 made it work
@minger Honestly, I would recommend to leave privacy protection to professionals. 😉
Just use your eBlocker and you are all set! No need for tampering with bowsers or using extra tools… 👍
THX!
