    When I log into either ITVX or iPlayer, from either Firefox or Chromium
    from Linux Mint 22.1, I get:

    "Something went wrong

    Sorry, we're not sure what went wrong. Please try again by clicking on 'Refresh' below or see ITVX Help for help with troubleshooting."

    Is this unique to me?

    I'm not reg'd at ITVx
    https://www.itv.com/

    When I go to the front door ublock origin and privacy badger tell me
    about what they've blocked.

    When I check on the certificate situation, everything is ok DigiCert Inc

    According to a source, iPlayer is geoblocked for me in the .us unless I
    get around it.

    I get the same message as you with Firefox (LM22.1), but have no problem logging in with Vivaldi.

    Ridiculously, I decided on a reboot.
    That fixed it.
    Unbelievable. I only booted up an hour ago!

    Turn it off, then turn it back on.

    +1

    Even allowing for your smiley, as most of us now use SSDs, rebooting
    takes very little time.
