The past several times I have attempted to post to a thread on FR I have received a page block purportedly generated by Google and FireFox warning me the site I was attempting to reach was infected. The notice starts out with the words: "Whoa! Are You Sure You Want To Go There?" This hasn't happened with any other site I've visited on the internet. And I haven't seen any reference to this Google/FireFox "warning" anywhere else. So I'm beginning to wonder if this technical "blacklisting" of Free Republic is deliberate. And if the attacks on conservative commentary are beginning in earnest. "StopBadWare"--a so-called non-profit organization. Anyone know about this?

Check the sidebar and click on the post by Jim Robinson explaining the situation. The last time I posted I didn’t get the message. We’ll see if I get it this time.

Try reloading this topic without the www. That seems to be a workaround. That often works with our company’s “watchguard” nanny.

Yahoo, Google and Firefox all run on the Linux search engine.

Bing runs on Microsoft server. If you sign in to Internet Explorer and use Bing for the search engine you will have no problem running Free Republic.

By the way, you should install Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer on your system. You can then pick and choose which one to use, but if one goes down you will still have a way to get on the internet.

One can never have too many places to run/explore.

I don’t think so but it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

I’ve been getting the same message when visiting FR all evening to now. I too use Firefox. I updated Firefox, but that was days ago.

If this report was indeed in error report, JimRob needs to get this resolved ASAP(assuming they want to keep the site)

I haven’t tried it in IE or Chrome.

Both Google and Facebook are bought and paid for literal tools of this fascistic government. Google recently dropped their old slogan” Do No Evil”. Why? Did Valerie Garrett or George Soros start to worry that Google was behaving in a moralistic, judgemental fashion? Most socialists feel better dealing with people or institutions that are proudly amoral, and make no special effort in defining what is ‘right or wrong’.
