pages not loaded ifrequested by entering url in address bar

[k-risc]

Recently while testing some development I ran into a redirect situation (I think). Firefox saves 301 redirects and then does them automatically if such an url is requested again (put in simple words). Looking for such a url in the history and choosing "Completely forget site" (not sure about the exact English wording as I work with the Germans interface) will help to get rid of that permanently stored redirect.

In the current case this didn't help.

Let's say this affected http://www.example.com, and we entered some parts of the domain name into the address bar so it showed up in the search results, and we then chose one of the results. Or we copied the complete url from somewhere and pasted it into the address bar. Then the outcome was:

• * In the instance of Firefox having Noscript activated and having this redirect stored, the browser stayed on the page it was before.
  ** If I opened the new tab and had the default display which Firefox displays on a new tab, then that was still displayed
  ** If I had some different url open, that url/page was still displayed
  ** Also the following was reproducible: If I deactivated Noscript, so I was able to load some page of the domainin question, then I activated Noscript again, and then I requested some other page of this domain, the browser stayed the page that was currently displayed
  * If I started Firefox with addons deactivated and I requested the domain, it was loaded
  * If I started Firefox with addons activated, and just Noscript deactivated, the domain was loaded
  * If I started another Firefox profile not having Noscript installed, the domain was loaded
  * In any other browser, http://www.example.com was loaded.

The problem does not occur when links are clicked, so when I click on a link leading to the domain in question, then that link is opened without any problems. Only entering urls in the address bar is affected.

Is there some way to "repair" this without having to uninstall and re-install the Noscript?

Testing with https://jigsaw.w3.org/HTTP/300/Overview.html, I'm not able to reproduce. Does the problem occur for you with this test page? What version of NS are you using? Could you test with the latest development version?
