The page isn't redirecting properly - problem in FireFox on subdomain

Can you create a test site that duplicates this problem? I am not able to reproduce it.

I saw this happening. with us. What appeared to be going wrong in our case: drupal_goto was choking when it pushed cold logins from: site.com/ to site.com/?q= when it really needed to get to our front page. In my case:

function comminit_exit($url = NULL) {
	if (substr($url,-3) == "?q=") {
		$lang = variable_get('i18n_languages');
		$url .= (isset($lang['site_default']) ? $lang['site_default'] : 'en')."/".variable_get('site_frontpage');	
	}
	return $url;
}

When it gets stuck working with ?q= it will sniff out the default language and default front page, then append them to the $url. In this case, I have a custom module (comminit) and that's where I put this function so that drupal_goto's module_invoke_all would catch it.

I cannot reproduce this problem. Please re-open this issue if you can.

I am not a programmer; I am an end user. I can tell you that many end users of Firefox are having problems with this issue and reporting them on the Mozilla forums. Mozilla has a standard response; to clear your cache, check your firewall permissions, and clear your cookies. This solution is not working for many people.

I cannot state whether this is a Firefox issue or not; but I have read on Firefox on some of the development pages that it has to do with when it encounters faulty code. It may be Firefox, the site it encounters, or both. Wish I could help more, but this is a major problem.

I run across it from time to time. This is a somewhat dubious site to visit, but you may be able to reproduce it.

Here is a condition where it happened:

1. Visit www.tmz.com
2. The site should be viewable.
3. Find a story and type a comment.
4. You must wait for a confirmation URL via email.
5. Copy/paste the URL.
6. Redirect to the page "Problem Loading Page. The Page isn't redirecting properly, etc."

If you want to see people complaining about it, visit the Mozilla forums under Firefox Support and look for posts such as "Problem Loading Page" and "Firefox cannot load certain websites" and "After Update Some Pages Will Not Load."

But that gives solutions that do not work for many users.

They are also directing people here:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

But that also gives solutions that do not work for many users.

The Firefox forums are here.

You will be hearing about this issue a lot more, but probably not from people accessing your site, because the problem is, they have to be able to contact you to tell you, and in certain cases I have found I am unable to contact the site in question due to the error.

HTH.

It has no such problem if you clear the "Pages which require an explicit login:" setting here; followed by a cache clear.

Cheers,

The one big thing to fix this is to go into the prefs file in the default profile and delete the following "useragent overide" line.

user_pref("general.useragent.override", "ie");

located here.

C:\Users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default

I tracked it down to this one line after isolating which file caused the issue. A clean new install after uninstalling and removing all user data usually will fix the issue also but then all bookmarks, passwords, home pages will be gone. I used MS Word to edit the file but saved the file in the original format.

firefox is saying the same thing when i open my gmail accounts. after installing firefox, i saw this little gmail notifier from the list of add-ons, which i immediately installed. after restarting my pc, i reopened firefox to see if this notifier was working. unfortunately not. firefox would not even open my gmail account. i can log in to my google account and view my account profile, but not to my gmail.
