152000 - REDIRECTION LIMIT EXCEEDED

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[John]

Another example of this.  Other comments suggest changing increasing limit from
default of 10 to 50 under user_prefs.  I can find no such location in Mozilla
1.0; any ideas?
I'd like to access the NYT articles but can't.  This doesn't happen in Netscape
4.79.

Reporter, please always include the BuildID of your build.

Dup of bug 119580, which was duped against bug 114709.

Tested with all cookies enabled, as well as with only those orginating with the
specified site -- no difference, same alert message.  (!!! SEE BELOW !!!)
So far the cited URL is the only affected.  
Have also tried logging off/on repeatedly to NYT website, restarting Mozilla
after clearing caches, etc.
Not apparently a cookie issue; only 4 NYT cookies set up, all dealing with log in.
Still can't find "user_prefs" location suggested in another related bug.  Is
that because of platform (Mac vs PC)?

After checking through all the above, I discovered the problem and resolved it:
I had tried to prohibit a pop-under ad which constantly shows up on the NYT site
using Cookie Manager.  As it turns out, it blocked ALL cookies from that site. 
I removed the block, and everything seems to be hunky-dory.  (So much for trying
 to block pop-ups/unders.)  
Thanks, all, for the input.
