My Fedora client is 32-bit.
I opened firefox and searched "vscode" for downloading it.
Then I clicked the first page entitled "Visual Studio Code - Code Editing. Redefined"
firefox displayed:
The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
if other sites are working it is a problem at their end
if no sites are working it is a problem with your connection to the internet
try another device, if things are woking there then it is a problem with the first device.
narrow down problem, is first device on wifi or cable?
the second? wifi or cable?
if no devices are working , you could try restarting your router
if still not working it could be a problem with ISP
check ISPs status page with mobile data, do they know they have a problem?
you are posting here, so you at least have some internet
so just try again
My Firefox is version 68. This means that yours is ancient. Your Firefox might be unable to cope with some features of the page it is trying to display.
A simple test to check if the problem is outside of the browser: Open a terminal window and access the page with curl (it should be installed):
Code:
$ curl -o studio https://code.visualstudio.com/

On my host, the same website is still running, which implies the problem is on the client.

It's not running. Is this saying that the problem is browser itself?
Yes, your Fedora is to old. According to DistroWatch the default firefox version for Fedora 19 was 21. If you are running Fedora 19 it went End of Life in 2015, so has its repositories and therefore no packages to update.
You can try clearing Firefox's cache and cookies and / or try starting it in safe mode which will check if an extension is causing problems.
Since the latest Fedora version is 30 the best way to update is to install from scratch.
