User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_6) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0.3 Safari/605.1.15

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to log in to multiple valid accounts -- banking & government -- using username and passwords that have always worked.

Actual results:

Access Denied
You don't have permission to access "http://www3.citizensbankonline.com/efs/servlet/efs/default.jsp" on this server.

Reference #18.96bec217.1613572055.10156ec

Expected results:

Should have been logged in to website. I could log in to these sites with previous versions of Firefox. I can even now log in to these same websites with Safari and/or Microsoft Edge using the exact same login/password. I have turned off/disabled all Firefox extensions. I have even re-booted into Safe Boot in OS X Big Sur, and verified that there are no updates needed. Fails every time. Older version of Firefox on older Mac OS X works now. Fiddled with proxy settings to no avail. Tried both Ethernet hard-wired and wi-fi connections.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Networking: HTTP' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → Networking: HTTP
Product: Firefox → Core

Could you please attach a screenshot of that "Access Denied" dialog?

Furthermore, if that website still in some website code links to an insecure http:// instead of a secure https:// address, then the website code needs fixing, so you may want to contact that website.

Older version of Firefox on older Mac OS X works now.

That's good to know. It means we may be able to easily find the problem by using the mozregression tool:
https://mozilla.github.io/mozregression/quickstart.html

Could you try using it to see what caused this regression? Thanks!

I downloaded and installed the above app, thinking that it would tell me what to do ...
I am an end user -- never coded or debugged apps. Wouldn't know where to start ...
Need guidance on how, exactly, to use mozregression to find the bug in Firefox 85.0.2

Watch the quickstart video on the page.
Then run the tool, select a date range between 2020-01-01 and 2021-02-23. The tool will then try different versions of Firefox between the two dates and you'll just select if accessing the page works or not.

But before we try this, I want to ask how are you accessing these pages that fail?
Since the error code says http: it seems you're going directly to that page and the server can't handle it.
Could you try to navigate to the page you're looking for by going to https://www.irs.gov/ first and following the link to what you're interested in? Same for https://citizensbankonline.com

Thanks!
