Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20130911155223 Steps to reproduce: Load this page: <html> <head> <script> window.location = 'file:///home/khicks/client.html'; </script> </head> <body> </body> </html> (where "file:///home/khicks/client.html" is replaced by the location of the file on disk, or the URL.) Actual results: The page redirects to itself continuously and indefinitely. Expected results: Firefox should emit an error after a pre-set (and preferably configurable) count of redirects, similar to it's handling of server side redirect loops.
