When a web page outputs a refresh meta tag, the page is not reloaded. I can't
find any rule, just it happens. 
Usually if I restart the browser, the refresh begins to work.
If I view the source and copy the refresh URL to address bar, the page is opened.

Reproducible: Sometimes
WFM.  Reporter, if you can find a testcase that can reliably reproduce the
problem please attach it.

Sorry, but there was no reliable way to reproduce it. And after a restart the
same page begun to work, so not the refresh parameters were wrong.
It seems that 1.0.2 fixed this bug. I am using the same pages.
Now it happened again in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
I did nothing special, login (Win XP Pro SP2), start FF, open 4-5 tabs, then I
enter the URL is a previously used tab.
Normally this site works, at least yesterday it did. It also works in a new browser.

The site is http://www.otpbank.hu/
The returned page is:
<HTML>
 <HEAD>
   <TITLE>OTP Bank</TITLE>
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=https://www.otpbank.hu/otpportal2000">
 </HEAD>
</HTML>
