"The server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete" - How do I fix this?

For the past two weeks or so, I've been getting an error message every time I try to access my mom's credit card account. The website redirects me to a different page because it wants me to pick out five different security questions and answer them to make the account safer. After I do that and click the "Submit" button, I get the error page. It tells me that the page isn't redirecting properly, the server is redirecting in a way that will never complete, and that disabling or refusing to accept cookies can cause the problem. There's also a link on the security question page that is supposed to take me to a page that tells more about the security questions. If I click on it, I get the same error. Normally, I log on to our credit card account from www.orchardbank.com. It takes me to www.capitalonecardservice.com - and our account. The security question page is on www.hsbccreditcard.com. I've tried deleting cookies from these sites, deleting all cookies, clearing the cache, deleting the cookie files from my computer, and clearing the history of those sites. None of it has worked. I have my browser set to allow cookies, and I don't have any that are blocked. Does anybody know of anything else I can try?

Hello,

Is there anyone here with the appropriate Bugzilla privileges who could lend a hand? I spent a fair amount of time finding a regression window for a bug in the handling of cookie exceptions (rules for domain.tld do not apply to subdomain.domain.tld).
I would very much appreciate it if someone could kindly confirm the report and bring it to the attention of the right people. Thank you in advance for any help.

When I open my home page, ads not supported by the site pop up at the top, moving the page down so i can't read the news. In a few seconds it moves to the bottom of the page where another unwanted ad is shown. How do I get rid of them? I have already checked "Block Popup Windows". What else can I do?

I know how to added a site to the "Exceptions - Cookies" list an block the site. The problem I have is the site just changes the first part of its name/url and adds the cookie to the list. SInce the site is using a 8 digit number; it is impossible to block all the name/url it can create. Is there a way to block all the possible name/url by using a wild card symbol? Like the "*" symbol in UNIX. Example *.xxxx.xxx.com to the list of sites I wish to block?

About one year back, I saved a webpage as webpage complete, that is, as a HTML file and a folder containing associated files. Recently I added mozilla archive format add-on. I revisited the webpage and it has changed a little bit, for example the picture in the heading and another picture in the body of the page. Now I saved this changed webpage as a single file, in MHT format. Now when I am opening the MHT file it is showing the previous version of the webpage, and at the top it is showing 'saved from: file:///G:/Document/Religion/filename'. When I move the file in another drive or folder firefox opens the changed version of the webpage and at the top 'Saved from: http://mukto-mona.com/bangla_blog/?p=28719, that is url of the webpage. When I move the file in G it again shows the old version. One word more, I downloaded all files and temporarily saved them in C drive. Later I moved them elsewhere. As you can see this above file I saved in G drive. I tried clearing cookies and histories of firefox and browsing history in Windows internet options. Problem is not going. I do not know whether it is a cookie problem, but I placed the question here.

Though I mentioned about a single saved file just for instance, actually the problem showing for several files. Thanks in advance.

In Firefox options I have set "Keep Cookies - Until they expire" options and when I exit and reload Firefox there are still many expired cookies in the cookies list?

I have noticed that session cookies are being removed ok, its just cookies that are set to expire on a specific date that are expired aren't being removed by Firefox. These cookies never seem to get removed automatically, only if I delete them manually.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

ON the firefox, the setting is set to "Never remember history" . I have a web site which sets the default value on the record per page dropdown list to 100 for every tab. When I change the value to 5 and then logout. clear the caches/cookies . and then reload the page and then login to the website the value is showing as 5? why is it so? since the default value of the dropdown on fress login should be displayed as 100. I am facing this issue in Firefox 20.0.1 and on Internet explorer its working fine, the default value of the drop down is showing up as "100" . Let me know what behavior is expected on firefox on the above mentioned issue. This relates to firefox browser only.

I have an application that resides in an iframe within a page. The application and the embedding page are from different domains. The application currently uses cookies to track if the user has used the application before. From what I understood from the Mozilla blog, upcoming releases of Firefox will not allow applications reading cookies from third parties, so my application will not work as before. My question is what I can do to my application so that it will continue to work with upcoming releases of firefox?

Hi,

I have the latest and updated FF version. Since months (and older versions), FF started to clear automatically cache every few days, even when it's properly closed. How to stop this? I have to open hundreds of sites and forums daily. I have to non-stop log in again and wait for pages to load for ages (because of cleared cache).

I'm sorry for asking this for the millionth time. I browsed every single support thread and nothing actually resolves the problem. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/935257 Nothing fits.

- No suspicious addons (I have only dictionary installed) - No viruses (checked) - No firewall or any other blocking - Everything fine in Tools, for browsing history (+ override cache management unchecked (tested with both options) - Reset doesn't help - Everything is fine and compatible in Troubleshoot - Changing value to 2 in "browser cache frequency" in about:config has nothing to do with the problem and instead prevents sites from caching new versions.

Is there anything more I can do?

Thank you
