Corrupted Content Error

The site at
https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/530041-Leap-42-3-nouveau-pointer-to-tmds-table-invalid?goto=newpost
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.

These forums@microfocus.com email links always work if pasted into the urlbar
and the trailing "?goto=newpost" is removed before proceeding.

This highly annoying web accessibility impediment started happening routinely
around the first of this year. IIRC, around that time, around 6 months after I
updated from 42.1 to 42.3, there were some significant Nuremberg infrastructure
changes.

To cause these links to load the error page instead of the intended destination
requires no particular action or inaction I've been able to pin down. It
routinely happens while I have various B.O.O. bug pages loaded, among them
saved searches, one or more of which have remained loaded across browser
restarts, and may or may not have been used in recent hours or minutes. There
may or may not be any open wiki or forum pages on restart, but there will
nearly always have been at least one of them open in logged in state within the
past 24 hours. I rarely have the browser closed except briefly for daily backup
or when I log out for zypper system updating. I always start browser by loading
previous session, which always has well over a hundred tabs. Since browser
restarts usually cause logging out from login.microfocus.com, I typically
switch to one of the open B.O.O. tabs to force re-logging in by clicking on a
saved search link shortly after a browser reopen. Often I remember to check
that I remain logged in before trying to open an emailed forum link, after
which the link is less likely to produce the error page. Unless I've relatively
recently been active on a forum or wiki page, the most likely result of the
attempt is the corruption error, unless I have one or more open and recently
touched forum or wiki page with a visible "log out" link.

The browser I virtually always use for BOO, forum and Wiki
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 SeaMonkey/2.49.2
has NoScript extension set to always allow opensuse.org pages.
