Firefox will not let me login into paypal. Spoke with them can login with Exploer Needs to be fixed ASAP
Paypal redirect/login. It appears many are having this problem. It just spins. You can uncheck the box for redirect and it works then, but not well. We want to keep it checked but it need to be fixed to work with paypal correctly. Please fix ASAP I don not want to uninstall and go back to Explorer but this is a serious problem.

please go to the firefox menu > options > advanced > general and make sure that the option "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" is unchecked.
Yes. That is the solution. Shut off "warn me if a site tries to redirect." (see previous answer in thread for instructions). I do not know if FF is broken or PP is broken. I have a tier two trouble ticket with PP. Now, when it contacts me, I will be able to give them the area to be addressed. What a great forum that Mozilla supports. It has NEVER let me down for a fix since sea monkey 1 (and maybe even netscape before that). Thank you all.
What's going on: there's a difference in behavior between Firefox in Windows and Firefox in Linux. If you check the warning option for redirection (advanced settings), Paypal works in Windows but not in Linux. Uncheck it and Firefox works in both.
This is a bug in Firefox. Paypal won't do anything about it because Paypal works correctly in Windows and they don't give a damn about Linux.
Thanks for your comments. I had a tier II tech ticket. PayPal never called me back. Thus, I never told them the work-around.
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

I see the point about autorefresh, but redirection is a different case. I don't see what that has to do with accessibility. And in any event, there should not be a difference between the behavior in Windows and the behavior in Linux. That is surely accidental.
