http://openbve.wixsite.com/openbve; cannot open this website
Hitherto, no problem opening this website. Now I cannot although Google Chrome and Internet Explorer can! Reason given by Firefox is that the website is insecure and special permissions have not been given. I just need a simple way to open this website, Firefox instructions are too complex for me to understand what I have to do to to access this website. I'm having no problems accessing other websites on Firefox.

Is your issue still valid? Did you email the website?
Long story short: as opposed to others not experiencing the issue, I got a blank page on almost any latest Firefox Nightly version (57 - 62), but not on 56 release - on Windows 7 to be precise. Fiddling with some preferences provided better results in these Nightlies but I will save you from that - the important thing is that as of today, it does display for me in most of them by default, so something may have changed at the website that fixed it.
If it still happens for you (btw, does it happen in 60 too?), can you install uBlock Origin and post back your results? Doing so may not seem to be related, but it helped for me in versions when the issue still occurred before today. Preferences changed by that add-on are mostly network-related and make no sense to me being the culprit, but nevertheless, and your feedback may help pinpointing the real reason.
So in short: does it still occur in 59? And after upgrading to 60? And after installing uBlock Origin? Please do not change any of its default settings after doing so, but test right after as well as after restarting Firefox.

I did indeed write to the website concerned but have not received a reply to date. However, when, at your suggestion, I updated Firefox to 60, the problem was resolved and I can now access the website. All very strange. Many thanks for taking the time to write.
