[Fixed] Empty Download Page for RStudio Desktop

I am using RStudio Desktop v. 2026.01.1+403. I wanted to upgrade to the latest version available. When I visit the RStudio Desktop page at Posit, there is neither information about RStudio nor any download links. I am using Firefox version 151. I tried to open the page by creating a new Firefox profile to see whether the problem is with my Firefox preferences and add-ons; the page is still empty. Is there anyone who has the same problem?

Here is the screenshot of the page with a new and add-onless Firefox profile:

I use the same version of Firefox and have no problem displaying the full page. Have you tried clearing the cache and, if that fails, restarting Firefox in troubleshooting mode (via the Help menu)?

Top right-hand corner "Download RStudio" gives a blank page? I get the same as @prubin

@prubin , I created a new Firefox profile, clear all the cache, set "History" to "Never remember history", disabled "Enhanced Tracking Protection", and then visited the page. Also, I started new profile with:

firefox -P newprofile --safe-mode

jrkrideau , yes. the screenshot shows the "Download Rstudio" page.

Do you have another browser (maybe Chrome) you can try? If it works in the other browser, that narrows the issue down to Firefox. If it doesn't work, that suggests a network issue of some sort.

I sent an e-mail describing the problem, and they replied that they were working on a fix. Now I checked the download page, and download links are visible again. Thank you @prubin and jrkrideau for your interest.
