Fedex tracking has suddenly stopped working
This was working fine until today.
Go to -> https://www.fedex.com/en-us/tracking.html
and enter a tracking number and get this...
"Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later."
This works fine with another browser.
Any suggestions, please?

Re: Fedex tracking has suddenly stopped working
I stopped trying to use that or UPS in SM maybe a year ago. Resorted to using another browser or mobile devices.

Re: Fedex tracking has suddenly stopped working
I clicked on your link and got the same "Unfortunately we are unable to retrieve your tracking results at this time. Please try again later."
What can you suggest I try to cure my problem?

I don't spoof.
Test in a new, clean Profile.
Create a new Profile, throw in that link & see what happens.

Yes, I know some other people do as you do...and it seems like the attractive approach (but what do I know?)
#1) I don't really know how to create and play with different profiles; and
#2) I don't see what would be gained by "create a new profile and see what happen" as I'm not reallky receptive to trying to transition into a new profile if that seems to be the answer; and
#3) I run SM lean and clean i.e. no unneeded extensions.
Any other ideas?
And thanks again for replying.

Re: Fedex tracking has suddenly stopped working
Peter,
At the top of the browser when you click on "Help --- About SeaMonkey" what do you see for the user agent? Mine says, " Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0 SeaMonkey/2.53.15 ". Per your posting here at Mozillazine your user agent is " Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.53.15 ". In other words in your current user agent the "Firefox /91.0" appears to be missing. It appears that you have set an override that may be blocking the basic user agent of SeaMonkey and thereby possibly causing a problem at Fedex.
When I click on the link supplied by "therube" the fedex site appears to work correctly. That may be because "therube" and I have the exact same basic SeaMonkey user agent, while you appear to be using an override.

Re: Fedex tracking has suddenly stopped working
Peter,
Somebody else may have to help you with this. My thought is that you might have some override affecting/blocking SeaMonkey's basic user agent. When you go into your "about:config" and scroll down to the "general.useragent.override" area, what overrides do you see listed there?

Re: Fedex tracking has suddenly stopped working
Both v_v and therube are advertising Firefox compatibility in their user-agents and you are not. You can set that in Preferences > Advanced > HTTP Networking.Peter Creasey wrote: Here is what I have User agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.53.15 "

Re: Fedex tracking has suddenly stopped working
Thanks, everyone, for helping.
Okay, that appears to have fixed things so Firefox compatibility is advertised and, yes, fedex.com now appears to work.
I'm fairly certain I changed that setting recently at someone's direction (Frank Lion?) so that a site would work...and it did, but I don't remember what site it was (I think it was Facebook and, I just now checked, Facebook now doesn't work).
