just to confirm, this also happens with a clean profile

It doesn't redirect if you disable JS

Comment 3

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

and it doesn't redirect in FF3.0.3
Ria: Can you get a regression range ?

Confirmed. You can see the page is being rendered correctly but at the end of rendering the page, you suddenly see an empty page loading from seal.globalsign.com  This is with Minefield/3.1b2pre = Minefield nightly build 20081108033239 Behavior is the same with both JIT settings either both true or both false. I tried switching the Minefield useragent to Firefox/3.0.3 (which works on that site) but no change in behavior. Only add-on is the nightly tester tools.  Firefox 3.0.3 and IE7 work just fine on www.dabs.com
Any idea's whether this is a Minefield bug, or a bad website? Dabs.com is actually quite popular in the UK.

Do not request blocking for unconfirmed bugs.
TO get this confirmed someone we need to find the cause

May be a duplicate of bug 461555 which has a patch.  (For me, incidentally, after reloading a few times, the page does load completely; there's also an error in the JS console.)

On line 1245 of www.dabs.com
<script type="text/javascript" src="//seal.globalsign.com/SiteSeal/gs_image_100-50_en.js" defer="defer"></script>

That's the offending script on that page which does in fact use document.write, duping.
