Firefox Problem With Redirects On CentOS 5

I’m having a peculiar problem with Firefox only on my CentOS 5 desktop. Every time I try a link from a search engine and even when I type in a location, I get a redirect error:

“The page isn’t redirecting properly.
“Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”

However, any link in my bookmarks works, as do a couple of remote IPs I have in /etc/hosts.

  • FF works fine on C5.10

    Care to send me the link and I’ll try.

    It sounds like the web site is redirecting into a loop.

    Clear-out your FF cache – that may help.

  • Thanks! Clearing the cache did it. Serves me right. I cleared cookies and disabled all extentions, but thought, “What’s the cache got to do with it?”

    It had something to do with OpenDNS, some fluke: I’ve used them happily for years.
