Hi, I'm doing some web development with OAuth. The OAuth works, but when it finishes, it redirects back to my development site - www.foo-dev.com, which is set up in my hosts file to point to my development machine ip address.

On chrome, this redirect works correctly, and loads my page. On firefix, nothing happens - it stays on the same page and no trace of the request is logged in firebug. Is there an about:config setting to disable this security feature, or at give me the option to follow the redirect if i want to?
