I know there are a lot of folk around here who are deeper into

I have a problem with Nottingham Playhouse login which is
puzzling me, and although it may be caused by something they have
changed, it looks like resolution is down to me. I would welcome
any advice.
If, using my desktop, on
https://nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk/my-account/ I click on
the silhouette to log in, the popup in Firefox reads "Firefox
can't open this page.
Other browsers just show an icon and
"tickets.nottinghamplayhouse.co.uk refused to connect."
Using https://www.whatismybrowser.com/
"Your web browser is:

Our laptops behave the same.
My Android tablet using Firefox shows:
"Blocked by X-Frame-Options Policy
This page has an X-Frame-Options Policy that prevents it being
loaded in this context"
Our mobiles behave the same on wi-fi.
However, my partner's work laptop using a VPN works OK, as does
her mobile using data.
I can't find any settings in browser, Virgin Media, Kaspersky or
Router that suggest they might be involved.
Initially, Playhouse said:
"... the issue may be due to strict security settings on your
devices that block cross-domain traffic - put simply, our booking
page has two domains. One for our website itself and one for our
ticketing system.
I have turned off Enhanced Tracking Protection for the Playhouse
site, but it doesn't help.
The Virgin Media box is in modem mode feeding a Netgear Nighthawk
R7000.
I'm really not sure now where to look to address the issue.

Cant reproduce this on firefox 87 linux
The console error logger does say this

so it may be that you have an uber strict cross origin setting.
I cant figure out exactly which security thing top twiddle in firefox
But in firefox, rightclick the page and select inspect element to bring
up the debugger, and click on console to see what errors etc are being
reported by te browser in more detail
