1130837 - Nightly does not follow HTTP redirects in e10s mode when HTTPS Everywhere is enabled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 997808

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Build id: 20150207030204

Bug shows at least on Linux 64-bit and Mac 64-bit.

Steps to reproduce:
 1) Load https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/
 2) Type "redirect" in the search box in the middle of the page.
 3) Press return.

Actual results:
The browser renders a page whose title is "302 Found".

Expected results:
Expected the browser to automatically follow the 302 redirect to the bug list.

Additional info:
This isn't in any way Bugzilla-specific. Following redirects is broken also on Google, box.net, etc.

Broken in e10s. Not broken in a non-e10s window.

Any add-ons?  Tried Safe-mode?  Fresh profile?  Sounds to me like a bug in CPS that's already fixed (bug 1094156).

retested this morning with nightly x64 on linux and it wfm with e10s.

So its probably a add-on hunt.. if that doesn't resolve the issue https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Debugging/HTTP_logging for the STR might help.

This happens if HTTPS Everywhere is enabled. Even just using the add-on's own enable/disable feature to temporarily disable it without unloading the extension makes the problem go away.
