I did see the question here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1448269

And the answer is not useful, mainly because apt-get does not use a browser to update its cache.

Err:16 https://packages.mozilla.org/apt mozilla/main all Packages 

 400  Bad Request [IP: 34.160.78.70]

E: Failed to fetch https://packages.mozilla.org/apt/dists/mozilla/main/binary-all/Packages 400 Bad Request [IP: 34.160.78.70 443] E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Using curl/wget/httpie works as intended, just apt-get update fails.

Any help would be appreciated.
