Do you get 403 - Forbidden errors but don't know why?

I discovered by chance that 403 - Forbidden errors can be caused by download accelerators like the firedownload add-on for Firefox. Does anyone else have this problem?

    If you suspect that a Firefox Add-on or Plug-in is causing Errors, un-install it (in Tools > Add-ons).

    If Firefox starts to behave again, the Add-on was the REAL problem.

    If NOT, it may be the specific website that's the REAL problem, or, your Anti-Malware Tools.
