Can't get into bbc news.

Hi I cannot get into BBC NEWS. I use Firefox. Everytime I click on bbc news I get this message at the top of the screen Request Get "http bbc.co.uk and a whole of letters and numbers. It says filtered by ABE. It's in a yellow box.

No idea what to do. Any ideas would be appreciated/

    Is your Firefox upto date? I'm on Windows 7 and using Firefox 20.0.1
  • I think is a noscript add on problem
    Try disabling it.

    Yes Firefox 20.0.1. I didn't want to type out that long list of letters and numbers. I will try disabling NoScript. Should I disable all protection?

    If you have options just above the clock, you could click that and then click to temporarily allow the bbc or temporarily allow all on this page

    You should get the same options if you click the No Script S

    Of course you could use a decent browser like IE10 :cool:
