Hello, all.

I run Firefox Quantum (up to date, of course) and tried opening Pinterest. It opened the page in a flash as I expected, but less than a second after finishing loading, it reloaded the page independently. The URL of the first go was just pinterest.com, but the second time, it lengthened to pinterest.com/login/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Flogin%2F%3Fnext%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.pinterest.com%252Flogin and so on and so on, then continued to reload every half a second, adding onto the URL somehow. After about 5 refreshes, it finally quit. An error message was displayed in the top left corner: Error: URI Too Long.

I have no idea what I can do about this. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers.

For Pinterest please run : https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/ Let us know

Separate Security Issue, please update your Flash 28.0 r0 by removing it with this tool : https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html If you use it Reinstall with Flash Player Version: 30.0.0.134 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>

Hi, is there a reason you are running a Beta Release ? Possibly better of on the Stable Release if no need to run a Beta. If do please :

then grab a full version installer :

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.

Thanks, but I will stick with Quantum. It runs better on my machine than the full version.

Any other solutions?

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Appearance
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
