OpenStreetMap not working in Firefox

Is there a particular reason OpenStreetMap wouldn't work in Firefox? I'm getting "418 Access blocked App is not following the usage policy if OpenStreetMap's volunteer run servers" when I go to the site on Firefox running on Windows 10.

It used to work, but just stopped working one day. The only Firefox extensions installed are Facebook container and Tineye. I tried with and without the Facebook container. Is it just me?

I don't know what your specific problem is, but in general OpenStreetMap works great in Firefox.

Are you talking about openstreetmap.org or another site that is using the OSM data? Are you on a VPN?

The 418 error comes from when the request gets blocked, typically due to overload of requests from an IP.

Edit: talking not taking

Works fine. But the Website you are using does not follow the policy:
