I don't know why twitter blocks my Android Firefox, but I feel as if we both benefit.

Firefox is blocking one of their scripts from loading. Same problem with the Firefox Focus content blocker on iOS.

This happens to me whenever I use the Galaxy Browser. First request is always "rate-limited". When I immediately reload the page, it goes through. I always thought it was a cheap tactic to have people install their app.

Same problem for me on Android with Firefox.

Wow, so it's not just me! I'll ask around Mozilla and see if anyone knows why Twitter does this.

A refresh usually helps, and this "feature" isn't exclusive to Firefox.

For some reason, it is exclusive to the links opened from another apps and doesn't appear when accessing a link directly (via a refresh). That might narrow down your search a bit.

I always was rate limited until I signed into Twitter. Problem solved.

I think they cap guest views/minute.

It happens to me often when I open a reddit link from twitter in an embedded WebView (using the bacon reader app) so it's unlikely to be a mozilla issue

It happens to me too, also on Firefox mobile. I assumed it was because I block some trackers but maybe not?

Also t.co links from within the Twitter app don't load at all from me until I hit "open in Firefox" on the drop-down.
