My blog doesn’t load in Firefox

  • Unknown's avatar

    Here’s the blog in question: http://havienda.wordpress.com

    It opens in Internet Explorer, but not the browser I use for all my work, Firefox 3.5.2, which is very inconvenient.

    I get the following error 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.’

    I’m pretty sure cookies are not restricted in my browser settings. I have no such problems with my other wordpress.com blog. Up until a couple of weeks ago it was working fine. I haven’t made any significant changes to it in that time.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Opens perfectly well in my 3.5.2. I think you should check your cookie settings again.

    husdal, thanks for your reply.

    My browser cookie settings are configured to accept cookies from websites and I’ve checked to see if the blog I’m trying to access isn’t listed as blocked in Exceptions; it isn’t.

    Following advice from Firefox, I’ve cleared the cookie cache, disabled all add-ons, and done what is described here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Cannot+log+in+to+websites?style_mode=inproduct#Remove_corrupt_cookies_file

    All to no avail. I can neither view the blog logged-in or not. I can access the Dashboard normally. Weirdly, even when I try to view a file in that blog’s media library, I get the same error.

    It came up just fine for me as well. Have you by chance updated a virus scanner or firewall or suchlike recently?

    Sometimes a full restart will make this kind of problem go away, since you’ve already done half of the Cookie Dance. Worth a shot.

    I’ve just solved the problem. There was a domain mapping set up that had since expired. Soon as I deleted it, I could access the blog again.

    Thanks raincoaster and husdal.
