Redirection is not happeing with higher version of Fire Fox (v 2.0.0.17)

Question

Hi,
We are using sundirectory service (version 6.x) for login authentication via LDAP protocal. On entering the invalid user info on the prelogin page, it should redirect to the prelogin page with an error message, but it's not happening as expected with higher version of firefox(V :2.0.0.17 and above).The user authenticated redirection to prelogin page is happening as expected in IE 6.0 and lower version firefox (V1.0.7).
Could you please confirm whether sundirectory service or SAM supports the higher version of( V :2.0.0.17 and above) fire fox or Latest fire fox features/bug fixes creating the problem.

Hi Sheger77,
Thank you very much for suggesting installation Live Http Headers. I have done like what you suggested. I am able to see the live http headers and rensponse codes.The authentication is hppening correctly.
below is the authentication response from SAM server user password is wrong.
HTTP/1.x 200 OK
Server: Sun-ONE-Web-Server/6.1

One thing i did not understand is that the scenario to get the below page with a link "Return to Login page" in the firefox browser v3.0.3.
Sun Java System Access Manager (Authentication Failed)
Authentication failed.Return to Login page
On cliking the Return to Login page, i will get the below page.
Sun Java System Access Manager (Login)
This server uses LDAP Authentication
User Name: Password:
And a Log In Button.
This issue is happening with fire fox version browser 2.0.0.16 to till v3.0.3. Is there any chance of client validations restricting. The same code working as expected by the browser MSIE 6.0 and lower version of FireFox(V: 1.0.7). Is there any chance of client side(brower) security updates restricting the redirection to pre-login page. Please suggest.
