I tried to follow several links from our internal network and the links try to redirect to an open network but all I see is the HTML. Firefox does not follow the redirect.

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content='0; URL="https://liteblue.usps.gov/humanresources/careers/home.shtml?"'> <title>USPS - Redirect to https://liteblue.usps.gov/humanresources/careers/home.shtml?</title>

You can't nest quotes.
Leave out the quotes around the url 

<meta content="0; URL=https://liteblue.usps.gov/humanresources/careers/home.shtml?" http-equiv="REFRESH"> <title>USPS - Redirect to https://liteblue.usps.gov/humanresources/careers/home.shtml?</title>
