I'm using firefox 17 with Mac OS 10.8.2. Since version 16 of firefox, meta-refresh in html code doesn't work anymore, but same code is working with other browsers.

Sample: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=http://www.google.be/">

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
