Title: Firefox redirect loop Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Firefox redirect loop * [darrent71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darrent71/) * (@darrent71) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/) * When I upgraded my WordPress to version 2.8 every time I try to login using Firefox 3.5 I get stuck in an infinite loop. * From the login page I type in username and password, the browser changes the url to mydomain.com/wp-admin/ then back again to mydomain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to =http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mydomain.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-admin%2F * This doesn’t happen with my PC in work, just my laptop at home. From my laptop I’ve no such problems logging in with IE7. I’ve cleared everything from cookies to cache and it still makes no difference. * Can anyone help?

Could it be a network issue on your work PC? * Thread Starter [darrent71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darrent71/) * (@darrent71) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1198840) * Maybe I didn’t explain correctly. I can reach the login screen but after typing in my credentials it reloads the login page with the url then showing as gossy. us/wp-admin/ then back again to gossy.us/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F% 2Fwww.gossy.us%2Fblog%2Fwp-admin%2F * This is a loop I cannot get out of. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1198849) * I did manage to replicate a similar error (though not a redirection loop) by trying to access [http://gossy.us/wp-admin](http://gossy.us/wp-admin). What’s in your .htaccess file. Are you redirecting www. to the bare domain name? * Thread Starter [darrent71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darrent71/) * (@darrent71) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1198860) * I’ve just realised I gave you the wrong domain! Gossy.us is running on WordPress but I can login fine with it. It’s acquiweb.com/blog that I keep getting the redirect on. Sorry! There is no .htaccess file for acquiweb.com and as I mentioned above, I can login fine from work or using IE7 on my home laptop. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1198862) * Have you tried disabling all Firefox add-ons on your home machine? * Thread Starter [darrent71](https://wordpress.org/support/users/darrent71/) * (@darrent71) * [16 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1198885) * I just tried that but still same problem. * [fsflip](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fsflip/) * (@fsflip) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1198972) * I have the same problem on my localhost wordpress. I downloaded and installed wordpress-mu. I go to [http://wp/wp-login.php](http://wp/wp-login.php) (wp – it’s my local host) and entered correct login and password and redirected to [http://wp/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2F](http://wp/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwp%2Fwp-admin%2F) And again reenter login and pass and again redirect on this url. * Please help.

I had this issue and it drove me nuts…I didnt have to reinstall Firefox…here’s what I did. * Tools–> options –> Privacy Tab Click on delete individual cookie (or all if you prefer)…find your site and delete it. * Then clear ALL your cache and viola…I am back into my site. * [s_ha_dum](https://wordpress.org/support/users/apljdi/) * (@apljdi) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1198980) * I was also thinking it might be a cookie issue. * [seomartin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seomartin/) * (@seomartin) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/firefox-redirect-loop/#post-1199007) * for me, this is happening, but on every browser I have.
