Access Denied errors on the internet

Firefox forced 48.0.2 on me, and I ran a GoToMeeting on Thursday.

Now I get "Access Denied" errors on senate.gov servers and on some
Indeed.com links

Did a restore to Aug 12, dialed Firefox back to 47, but it's still the same.
Ditched GoToMeeting install too.

This happens in both Firefox and IE9

What do I do to correct this? Any ideas?

Thanks

In shift, Toomey says he'll oppose international trade deal

Source: Philadelphia Inquirer

Major labor unions opposing the deal also were not impressed. Pennsylvanians are too familiar with Toomey "to be fooled by this episode of pathetic pandering," said Richard Bloomingdale, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO.

The TPP, awaiting ratification by Congress and officials in other countries, involves countries that account for roughly 40 percent of the global economy, including Japan, Mexico and Australia.

Toomey last year praised the potential deal and in May and June of 2015 voted in favor of so-called "fast-track authority" for President Obama, a measure seen as crucial to helping the administration seal the pact.

Shameless waffling. Last week he wrote he wasn't a 'rubber stamp'
for his party, even as he supports McConnell on Supreme Court stonewalling.

Now he doesn't stand for anything! Not even his own long held principles.

ANYTHING to get reelected.

Help with Verizon

Last Friday and Saturday nights, we had severe local thunderstorms.
Quarter mile away type stuff. My internet was unaffected. My phone
went dead. There is no dial tone. I took one of the phones, hooked
it up to the direct incoming line, dedicated - nothing else connected -
and it's still dead.

I can't call Verizon. My phone is dead. I can't find a payphone when
I go out. There are none anymore. I went to Verizon.com to file a repair
ticket. That site goes around and around, but you never get to email anyone,
chat with anyone, or find another means of communication. There is a link
where you enter your phone number and Verizon calls you back. And they do
My phone rings, but when I answer, the line goes dead with a large amount
of static. Totally unintelligible. They hang up. I did this four times. After the
second try, it now only rings once when I ask them to call me.

I know, grab a cell phone. I have a pay as you go plan. I've called them twice.
First time I got placed on hold for 6 minutes. Second time it said it tested my
line, and there is nothing wrong with it, and there could be a charge to obtain
repair work. Then they ran me through the repair options I could do myself, such
as conducting a dedicated line check like I ran three days ago.

Do you think it would help if I wrote Verizon a letter? Filed a complaint with the
FCC or Public Utility Commission?

How can you have a phone company that cannot be contacted? Why are they
making this so difficult?

Trump Repeats His Lie That He Watched A Video Of Money Landing In Iran

Source: Huffington Post

Donald Trump on Thursday repeated his false claim that he had watched a video of money being unloaded from a plane at an airport in Iran ― after his campaign acknowledged that such footage doesn’t exist.

“It was interesting because a tape was made, you saw that? With the airplane coming in?” Trump asked the crowd at a rally in Portland, Maine. “Nice plane. And the airplane coming and the money coming off, I guess. That was given to us, has to be, by the Iranians.

~~~~~~~~~

It was the second time in two days that the Republican nominee for president claimed to have seen Iranian video of money being unloaded from a U.S. plane. He first made the claim Wednesday morning, during a rally in Daytona Beach, Florida, and said the video he had seen was “top secret.”

Trump’s spokeswoman told The Washington Post early Thursday that the candidate had actually seen publicly available footage of American citizens disembarking from a plane in Geneva in January. Spokeswoman Hope Hicks didn’t explain why Trump claimed the video was top secret Iranian military footage.
