Error 403 Forbidden (Solucion).

As many will know from 13 or 14 April 2016 many users of this community (including me) have been suffering from this error which does not allow several actions to be taken in a row, either opening the profile of another user or the own Self, uploading a deviation, delivering a llama badge or simply trying to create a comment or responding to another, the case is that any action followed by others caused the site to go into error with the user, one week after starting this problem I made a journal mentioning said error:
Error 403 Forbidden!EN
Since Wednesday or Thursday of last week I'm having serious problems to navigate through DA, the most common mistake I have when I try to access any profile, deviation, or whatever involving open a page within the site

Desde el miércoles o el jueves de la semana pasada estoy teniendo serios problemas para poder navegar a través de DA, el error más frecuente lo tengo cuando intento acceder a cualquier ferfil, desviación, o lo que quiera que implique abrir una página dentro del sitio

These are a few of the errors that is giving me deviantART.
As I've been watching I'm not the one who started giving these problems, I have seen several

Apparently deviantART since April 2016 began to implement a protocol system to extend the security of users on the site (which is fine), but this has begun to give problems to many and nobody from the staff seems to have worried about the problem that Has hit many users, I do not doubt that several users have left this site for reasons like these, miraculously I have been patient enough, otherwise I would not be here.

When DA started to experience this error I thought it was some maintenance they were doing, but seeing that a week later the problem continued I realized that it was something different, checking with another internet connection I noticed that everything worked Wonder, so the problem originated from the internet to which I connect (that of the company where I work), as time passed I noticed that the internet of the company became slower and more problems was not only with DA But also with other sites, the network administrator has not known how to solve the problem (it is something incompetent), so I had to look for it to solve as many errors as I could with the use of the internet, I came to try extensions to avoid Additional content and undesirable, multiple browsers including Internet explorer, Google Chrome, Opera, Windows Edge, among many others, with the only one that managed to do more actions was with the old versions of Opera as version 12.16 as this has a " Turbo Mode "which is a data economizer that is not included in the new versions of the browser, this works as a tunnel by first downloading the data to an Opera server and then sending it to the user, which could further prevent the server cache Proxy of the company and could do more actions than allowed with other browsers, but in return, since that version of the browser is very old could not perform actions like upload deviations or create a journal, so deviations had to upload them through Mail sending them to the sta.sh and from there I could upload them to my gallery, for the journals I never got to find a solution, so many may notice that the last one I did was where I mentioned the problem and this I did with a lot of work , Giving me a lot of mistakes and making me lose a lot of my time.

----In short, not to continue dilating the story----

Yesterday among the many things I was looking for and trying, I finally found a solution, from that moment I have done a lot of tests, I have commented and answered messages, I have given llamas, I have given favorites, I have congratulated several for their birthday and I have opened Several profiles (including mine, which incidentally, I recognize that it is somewhat loaded :icondragonxpplz:) and in that time I did not have a single error, everything started to function normally into the site, and the final test is that I could create This journal without any problem.

How to fix the problem:
For users using the Mozilla Firefox browser:

This add-on must be installed:
addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/…

After installing and restarting the browser, you will see that the icon of the extension (a blue box with an S inside) appears on the top bar, being on any page of deviantART, click on it and to activate the option "DeviantArt (waiting for webmasters To indicate site is ready) ", it will restart the page and go.

After testing and seeing that everything has worked normally I've been looking for the same solution for other browsers, and I found that here in DA was already the solution for Google Chrome, the journal can be found here:
I Keep Getting 403 Forbidden Error (Solved)UPDATE 13/7/2017 BELOW!! TLDR, the solution on this journal is for the error like this screenshot , not this one . Explanation below.
UPDATE 8/8/2016 BELOW!!
UPDATE 5/9/2016 BELOW!!
And it's getting annoying. It's really hard to upload even just one picture.
What the hell happened to deviantart? If it stay like this, I might just move to another site... pixiv looks nice :|
UPDATE: HOLY SHIT THIS IS REALLY ANNOYING!! I CAN'T EVEN BROWSER THE EMOTICONS FOR ANGRY EMOTICONS!!! I CAN'T EVEN SUBMIT HELPDESK TICKET WITHOUT KEEP GETTING 403 ALL OVER!!!
UPDATE: Finally managed to upload all the pieces for today. But those error are still annoying as hell....

UPDATE 8/8/2016
: Wow, this problem still happening so much that this journal has more than 50 comments at the time of this update, and some comments are still coming :| (Blank Stare). Sorry I didn't reply to

chrome.google.com/webstore/det…

I hope this serves and can solve the problem for those who for so long have had to endure these terrible mistakes.

I still can not understand how I could endure this for 9 months, I think patience reigns over me :icondragonteaplz:

Thanks to this I can be more active (as I used to be before: icondragontail3 :), although I will need a good time to recover from all the delay that this error has caused me:

More than 1400 unanswered comments and almost 300 unanswered replies, plus several journals to do.
Final conclusion:
