Links to this forum show up as Corrupted Content in Firefox unless opened in New Tab

Iā€™ve noticed Firefox will display a Corrupted Content page for links to this forum followed in Firefox. Opening them in a new tab avoids this issue. Iā€™ve noticed this in every release of Firefox Quantum. Iā€™ve encountered no issues with Vivaldi, Chrome or Safari.

fyi, this issue appears isolated to the help.nextcloud.com forum and no other Discourse forums Iā€™ve checked. Here is the exact error as copy paste.

Corrupted Content Error
The site at Demo instances of 9, 10, 11 and 12 now live has experienced a network protocol violation that cannot be repaired.

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because an error in the data transmission was detected.

Hi,

Iā€™ve noticed this too, but not just for this forum but any forum that uses Discourse. I suspect either a bug in Discourse or Firefox. CTRL+F5 resolve the problem temporarily, but itā€™s still very annoying.

Yeah, it is especially a bummer if you bookmark a specific thread in Discourse. Opening that bookmark will often lead to a ā€œcorrupt contentā€ page until you refresh.

I see this problem too, thanks for the CTRL+F5 tip, so far Iā€™d been opening chrome just to look at forum links. The links in google search results give the corrupted content error in firefox.
