URL constantly redirects to itself in Firefox

Hi
I have been investigating a problem on a microsoft forum. Each time i open a page on this forum in firefox, the page constantly redirects to itself. The url is this
http://windowslivehelp.com/thread.aspx?postid=F14713BF-E239-45C4-AA3A-8CA8DA0BBCBF#F14713BF-E239-45C4-AA3A-8CA8DA0BBCBF
The problem is not occurring in Internet Explorer or Google Chrome, just Mozilla Firefox. As you can see from the thread, it has been suggested that it is a problem with Firefox and that i ask for an explanation here

There is a script running on that page that doesn't seem to end and that keeps reloading the page endlessly. 
It happens with and without the anchor. 
Without the anchor the script adds the not working uppercase anchor, but even a lowercase version has the problem of reloading.

The reloading only stops if I disable JavaScript temporarily.

I am constantly being shown this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." Why does this happen?

I am constantly being shown this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." The result is that I am often looking at a blank screen with an option to click on "Allow." But sometimes the message comes up and I am on the page I want to be on anyway. I don't understand this and don't know how to change this setting, if indeed I have set up Firefox this way. Help?

That message is a result of your settings
*''Firefox button/File > Options > Advanced > General >'' un-check "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" to no longer see that message

I work with a web app that will not run on Firefox, so I changed my default browser back to IE but the URL link continues to open in Firefox. How can I get it to default to IE?

After changing my default browser from Firefox back to IE, other URLs are defaulting to IE but I have one URL that continues to default to Firefox. This web app will only run in IE so the only way I can run it is to open IE first and then enter or select the URL. Is there a setting someplace that will change the default browser for this URL to be IE?

You can make IE the default browser, that will reset some registry keys 
Control Panel > Internet Options: Programs 
Put a check in the box next to 'Internet Explorer should check to see whether it is the default browser' 
Start IE and let IE make itself the default browser.
Check the default settings in: 
Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > "Set Program Access And Defaults" (on the left) 
Open: Custom (click arrow on the right) 
Select "Internet Explorer" under "Choose a default Web Browser" 
Click OK

Plugin check 'Update Now' link redirects to itself

Google Earth Plugin is vulnerable and has an 'Update Now' link. It just redirects to itself.

I clicked on "http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/"; it showed Google Earth version "7.1.1.1871" as "up to date". I noticed that one of my Adobe plugins needed to be updated, so I clicked on the "Update Now"; updated the application and went back to the "http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/" and it still shows that it needs to be updated. I suspect I need to close Firefox and restart Firefox. I'll let you know once I restart.
Update: Yep, the restart was the issue. All of my plugins are showing "up to date". I stand corrected; I didn't restart Firefox when I made my comment. I will correct my original with a note to restart Firefox before checking on the plugin status.
I went to www.google.com, clicked on "Maps" and when the map display selected "Earth". It worked, I was able to view my home.
I clicked on "http://www.google.com/earth/plugin/error.html" and it displayed ""There was a problem with the Google Earth Plugin. Please try reloading the page." I would just ignore the message; I am a user, not tech support.

Portal Logon page repeating/ redirecting to itself on first attempt

All,
Apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate forum. We are in the process of migrating a NW7.0SPS13/EP7.0SPS13 installation from a remote site to a local site with a database only UME and SSO to an ECC6.0 backend. The new target installation has picked up a rather odd behavior. When loggin onto the portal, the logon page repeats/refreshes/redirects to itself with valid ID and password with no error message. The only apparent action is the clearing of the password field.
My only clue so far is the absence of this script in the http trace on the initial logon attempt which shows up on the second attempt:
http://<host>:51100/irj/portalapps/com.sap.portal.httpconnectivity.httpauthentication/scripts/CAManagerScript.js
I did find this related thread and attempted the suggestions with no luck:
Re: portal logon page coming again
I felt this might be the best place to post question since this may be an authentication/connectivity issue.
Thanks in advance,
Lee

You are correct, we are not implementing SPNego but at this point I will take any suggestions that might be conceptually related...
We are attempting to migrate/clone the entire server (OS,J2EE,MSSQL05...) from a remote hosted environment to a local network environment.
I checked the Everyone, Authenticated, and Anonymous groups for the correct roles/Java permissions and all seems to be in-line with the correctly functioning remote system with correct user assignment.
With some further log filtering I was able to where find this error:
The default keystore view [TicketKeystore] does not exist. Authentication stack: [ticket]. The possible reasons for that problem are: keystore does not exist or the user has no permission to read from the keystore view. You can delete the TicketKeystore and restart the engine so that the engine automatically re-creates it.
I suspect the SAPLogonTicketKeystore was recreated incorrectly... I will have the migration team recreate it again. FWIW, I am unfamiliar with the process of assigning user access to this object as the error suggests.
Thanks for the suggestions...

Hi David,
I am currently not passing any group information in the SAML Assertion. I haven't tried SAML 2. I found this in one of the FAQs for UCM SSO 'only SAML v1.1 based SSO solution is certified to work with UCM 11.1.1.4'. Using SAML v1.1 if you want to use the groups information you have to configure the 'Enable Virtual users' option in the SAML Destination Site. Also, you need to configure the SAML Authentication Provider along with the SAML Identity Assertion Provider.
Section 5.7 in the below link will give you some information about it.

I have had a bug attach itself to Firefox.

When I use the elevator to scroll or when I need to open another window, like answering my email, the bug will take me to another website that has advertising on it. How can I remove the bug? I have tried reinstalling Firefox, but that did not help the problem.

i've recommended the search reset addon, because some sort of adware has overwritten the search engine that is used when you enter a term into the address bar.
all you have to do is click "add to firefox" on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ & confirm the installation dialog. then the extension will install, reset the preference i've talked about above and uninstall itself from firefox again and you should be all set.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref network.http.max-connections from 256 to 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

After Firefox update, pages are redirected whenever I type a letter or try to enter url, different redirects based on letter I type. Opens a windows explorer window, goes to original login, opens Start/Run window with cmd in box etc.

Please send some advice if you have any ideas of how to solve this issue.
The info that is shown about my computer is not accurate. The machine with the problems below is running 64 bit Vista but I cannot access a site like this one due to the constraints listed below.
I fell for what I thought was a Firefox update but since installing it, when entering a URL, I am redirected back to original computer log in / password entry box. If I use my browser window drop down list I can get into something like Facebook and move around but as soon as I try to type any letter into a 'comment' box, I am redirected to both a Windows Explorer type page showing my various drives and another Window from my Start/Run with the dialog box open with cmd entered in it already. Certain typed letters don't show up at all when trying to enter a 'comment' on Facebook while various letters get various different responses. It is impossible to enter any URL or use my browser other than the items in my drop down. Once there, say to my bank account, I cannot enter any password as I am immediately redirected to someplace else upon trying to type a letter or character. I don't know how to get my browser working. I have tried IE as well and the same thing happens. All started after the supposed upgrade of Firefox. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Firefox constantly redirects my computer to otherpages

After clicking on a link I get redirected to other unrelated commercial sites. I can close each and eventually bring up the selected site. I have installed adware blocks , reinstalled Firefox 30 with no success. I reluctantly changed my default browser to I/E which does not have this problem. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

How can I prevent rogue software from installing itself via Firefox on my system?

I don't know if this malware is exploiting a hole in Win7 or Firefox or both.
So bear with me in my description. I am trying to ascertain if there are Win 7 security settings or configuration changes I can make to eliminate this. Or are there Firefox configuration settings I can change to prevent this or both. Did not find any help articles that seemed to address this from the search arguments I thought to use.
In the last two weeks I have had two different "security product" windows activate on my Win7 Pro system. Somehow they prevented my starting anything else such as task manager. My AV application detected attempt to create outgoing internet connection in both instances. In either case I ceased using my system as soon as the malware Window activated. I was burned by a third party cookie exploit last year. If you clicked anything, you were toast, such as a "do you really want to navigate away from this page?" warnings. Didn't get one of these messages this time with either of these. But in both instances, registry entries were created for this malware and it installed itself in the following directory path, C:\users\{myID}\appdata\local\temp\ as dtjupjnml\lcuatursjmo.exe s well as registry entries under dtjupjnml and lcuatursjmo after searching with the regedit FIND feature. I didn't recall the names from the first instance, but it installed exactly the same way.
This did not come from an e-mail attachment or link. I don't do those.

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.

How do I force all url links to open only in Firefox ?

OS : WindowsXP-Prof_SP3
FF version 18.0.2
My default browser is FF, but not quite as expected.
Url links appearing Outlook 2010 messages or appearing in website pages are mostly still opening another browser (AvantBrowser) instead of Firefox.
How can I force links to access only FF ?
In other words how do I prevent to open links in any other browser ?
Most irritating are links appearing in Outlook 2010 messages.
Those links always open in AvantBrowser, which I don't want to uninstall for the moment being.
Despite the fact that I applied both procedures, according Mozilla HELP informations !
1. Settings within FF itself
2. Settings within Windows-XP (problem here)
Windows-XP refuses to modify existent current settings to the choices which I want to remain permanent... (as NOT shown in a screenshot I made ; but apparently can't be uploaded here .
After OK and closing all windows,including ControlPanel, nothing has been changed.
Going back to [ControlPanel>...> same window] to check if the option has been changed, my choices are gone and old settings remain unchanged ! Why ???
Like I wrote already procedure described in http://mzl.la/L8LwDs has already been done.

This screenshot shows the settings being asked for, but they are not registered by Windows. Each attempt to 'modify' the settings to new choices fails.
Do I have to restart system or is there some button to confirm the wanted choices ?
After closing this window and coming back to the same window, the settings which were chosen are lost and back again... as they were before.
