403 - Forbidden Error

Post by Skynet1 »

https://www.mobius-actioncam.com/

SeaMonkey 2.46
Windows 10

Hey Guys,
Every time I try to access this web page I get:
403 - Forbidden Error
You are not allowed to access this address.
If the error persists, please contact the website webmaster.

I can access the page ok with FireFox & Internet Explorer.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Working on my end.
XP, SeaMonkey 2.49.1.

As a test, create a new, clean Profile & see if you're able to access the site with that.


(One post mentioned, network.http.sendRefererHeader, but I'm not seeing how that has any bearing?)
Fire 750, bring back 250.

Er, as a test, we usually use SafeMode first, right?

This problem is probably the Lightning suffix in the UA string.

There is newer version of SeaMonkey but you need install it manually:

Check if it will help.

(Yeah, Safe Mode is fine to test, & first too, but I was guessing that it was a Pref change rather then extension.)

Anyhow, you're right, it is the useragent that is causing the issue.
I didn't think about that.

I suppose if you clear the Pref (set it to an empty string), calendar.useragent.extra, that will get you working.

TPR75, Thanks! I didn't know this update was out.
Updating to 2.48 seems to have solved the problem.
Looks like I lost lighting calendar though.

Went back to version 2.46 so I have my Lightning calendar.
Guess I'll just wait till Lightning has a version that works with 2.48

Lightning 5.3b2 should work with SeaMonkey 2.48:

Not really a great idea to keep going backwards and forwards with SeaMonkey versions, as that could have easily have wrecked something. This is especially true when there was no great urgency, like here, where you could access the website by using another browser.

I use Lightning version 5.4 on my SM 2.49 and would have told you where to find it and the other versions, if you had asked here first.

The rube also explained how to fix your 2.46 above -
