Angry Firefox Browser Problems viewing RCU

I am having trouble with RCU site using the Firefox browser.
Getting message: "The page isn't redirecting properly",
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
"This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies."
and then a "try again" button. Sometimes the button works, sometimes not.

Moving to the Google Chrome browser, all the problems disappear. I am allowing the cookies.

Ideas... This started recently.

I have Firefox 54.0.1 and am not having issues. I have Windows 7. What are you running? Maybe it's a Windows/Firefox interface problem.

I have the same set up flyboy...and on every 'move' from one thread/post to another I get that error message. I bet it IS an interface problem.

Windows 7 pro and Firefox 54.0.1. Snide comments about interface problem not appreciated. I have been using this setup for years without issue. It just started happening. Yes I am applying win updates. The optical.. tactile.. biologic interface is fully functioning.

Don't use Firefox??? Well that is just ridiculous.

Same here, Win 7 Pro and Firefox. Same problem. Solved (kinda) by refreshing (or try again) and the page loads fine.

Unhappy Is someone working on this?

The same problem continues....I was wondering if someone is working on this. I just discovered I can't "Go Advanced"; first I get the common " "The page isn't redirecting properly",
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.""This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies." " and when clicking on 'Try Again" I go to blank page:

Is it 'me' or is something wrong? I cleared the Cashe; history; and scanned my computer....still the same results

try to see what your search engine is in fire fox. go to the options section top right under the close button(x) and then options then click search. see if google is the engine if it's not set it to google. that might help.

Google isn't my search engine.....I will have to see if that is the problem. Thanks for the hint!

Hi Mike ,

Myself also , two different computers here and no issues with RCU when using firefox . I know it may sound smug to say but I really do wonder if something IS wrong with the computers of the people having problems ? If it was a firefox or an RCU problem why wouldn't everyone using firefox to browse RCU have the same problems ?

Well now the page link problem is solved without any Firefox changes on my machine... but the right column banner adverts are driving me nuts. I cannot position my vertical scroll without it jumping around.

THIS IS A RCUNIVERSE PROBLEM.

Maybe the 'magic' can happen again! I don't share your problem (yet)....but time will tell.

My Firefox is working fine again. Don't know if it was fixed in an update or RCU fixed something, but it is working again. Nice comments, something not working, go buy something else. I don't want to buy a new car, I want the tire replaced and filled with compressed air.

I had been getting a bit frustrated with Firefox hanging from time to time...sluggish..."not responding"...and it had been happening more and more often over the past few months. I did some investigating, and noticed that I was using the 32 bit version...and that there is now a 64 bit version which seems to be quite a bit better...so far so good anyway.

On another computer I have installed Waterfox...which is similar, 64 bit...and seems to be even better...and that is what I am using now, to post this...no hang-ups.
