There’s every possibility that IronFox’s hardening is to blame for this, but that fact that the site doesn’t work at all is disgraceful.
In case you’re wondering, no I don’t use MSN. I was linked to that page from a Lemmy post.
Good. MSN can disappear.
Do you use any extension for disabling referrers? This may also be disabled by default in IronFox, but this is just guessing. I haven’t tried IronFox. It would make sense though. I do it on lots of webpages.
I get a white page and a bunch of CORS errors scrolling down in what is basically ironfox but manually done over the years.
Whenever I click an MSN link it takes me to the home page list of recent articles or whatever. Doesn’t bring up the article at all.
This is the console output I got trying to load MSN in IronFox. Maybe someone else can decipher what is actually causing it.

That just sounds like they were trying to fetch a few resources and the request timed out.
msn loaded like 3 desperate pages overlapping all at the same time on (unhardened) Firefox desktop the other week, I think they just don’t care about Firefox in general
Level that place.

MSN is kind of a joke
