Redirecting error and the Protocol error.

Two error messages randomly pop-up while browsing or opening a new tab

The first messages show's this.. ```Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.``` And the other.. ```Firefox doesn’t know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (mega) isn’t associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.```

Didn't solve the problem, I cleared all cookies and cache, but nothing changed. I'll reinstall Firefox and see if anything would change.

I refreshed Firefox and it seemed to fix the problem quite simply, Anyway Thank you very much for the fast reply and coming by.
