I am answering from a downright old computer with old Firefox (52.9). My 
attempts have mystifying outcomes. Well over a dozen times I tryed it. 
My first few, at least 5, had mostly Access Denied for the outcome, but 
never more after that. There is sometimes also very bad misformatting, 
but I blame my old computer for that.
