932788 - Spinner on Tab keeps spinning after a second redirect to original page

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[beginner_]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:24.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/24.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20130910160258

Steps to reproduce:

I use automatic login script (PHP) which logs a user in using windows auth (NTLM). The user requests the desired page, the page checks if user is logged in. If the user is not logged it in redirects (302) to the login script. The login script authenticates the user and if successful redirects (302) back to the original requested page. So the sequence is myPage 302 -> loginScript 302 -> myPage 200


Actual results:

Functionally it works fine however the issue is that the icon of the affected tab keeps spinning like the page is still loading. This never stops even if say I navigate to google.com. Only way to stop it is to close the tab.


Expected results:

The correct icon of the web page should be shown in the tab and not the spinner.
