The two labs in the soc challenge pathway 1.1 certificate of authenticity and 1.1 beaucoup phish are both not allowing the web browser to open to allow access to login to the hive. They wouldn’t load last night or today, I’ve tried multiple times restarting the labs and even the laptop I’m using and still no joy. When right clicking and manually trying to access this is the message.  
Hoping to resolve this asap as these are the last two challenges in the section to complete. Every other lab is working correctly as i did about 4 after retrying these this morning, just these two.

Can you try the following work around:

Open a terminal window, type **firefox &** , and press Enter.

Just checked it on the first one and it’s forced it open 🙂  
Thanks for your help, I’ll get these completed tonight.
