Attachment: Screen shapshot showing the error under nightly

I'm running Nightly 15.0a1 2012-04-26 on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (so running HoneyComb).

If I browse to the URL: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/cnet/tcoc/~3/dIFbyjSpKo8/ or http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57421233-94/googles-original-phone-surfaces-in-court/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title then I get an error "The page isn't redirecting properly".

I get the same error using Firefox 10.0.4, and Firefox Beta 12.0

I've attached a screen snapshot of the error page, a tcpdump packet capture while getting the error running Nightly, and a tcpdump packet capture of it working successfully on the same tablet using Dolphin.

I've attached a screen snapshot of the error.

Do you still see this issue on recent releases of Firefox?
