A place to discuss the news and latest developments on the open-source browser Firefox

Hey so I've been having this issue where the Ticketmaster website (no matter which country) does not work on Firefox... It just shows that message in the image.

I've tried disabling my VPN, uBlockOrigin, Privacy Badger, Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection, but no avail. I had to use G**gl* Chr*m* the other day to buy a ticket. Weird enough, I just tried using Firefox in my work laptop and the site worked without issues, even with uBlockOrigin and Privacy Badger enabled.

Any tips that might solve this without resetting my whole browser to default settings? Thanks!

Huh, another site that is intentionally designed to blacklist Firefox? If so I wonder what's in it for Ticketmaster. Seems to me as a company driven by sales, you'd want every avenue possible available to make those sales, including all major internet browsers.

Edit: I wonder if it's worth sending Ticketmaster a support request over it. If it's not intentional it may just be a bug that could be resolved.

It works on OPs work laptop, also on ff. So it's more likely that some combination of parameters which include the browser triggered their anti-bot protection, perhaps due to actual botting activity from a source with similar parameters.

I don't think so. I think they won't let you log in with Firefox and ublock origin because they want to load their bullshit tracking script, which that combination blocks.
