Firefox doesn't issue HTTP requests

more options

Firefox doesn't issue HTTP requests after a 301 redirect from HTTPS and enter to an indefinite loop for 301. Even after clearing cache and history the loop persists.

When set to NOT remember history in Preferences, it works fine.

It works fine on other browsers.

Do you mean "Firefox will: Never remember history" -- and then you have to restart Firefox because it switches to automatic private browsing mode? That may alter how cookies are handled, among other changes.

Can you give an example URL where this happens?

I have 301 redirects set up on these addresses. Do they work on your Firefox (go to the https://www... address)?
