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. (Does places.sqlite store IP numbers? )
All the machines use the router for DNS, and the router goes to OpenDNS.
This problem *only* affects Firefox, and only on the one Centos 5 machine. I have Centos 6 machines, Macs and Androids on the LAN.. Firefox works fine everywhere else. On the Centos 5 box, Opera works fine.
Any suggestions?
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.
