Getting new error in Firefox v40.0.3 under Windows 10 Pro that does not occur in same scenario with Google Chrome.
During Log In to PayPal, after entering the CMS-sent text code (using PayPal's 2-factor login procedure), Firefox stalls while loading the next page, and continues trying to load, indefinitely. The page suggests "Try Again", if load attempt stalls, so I click "Try again", and then get the "Re-direct Error Message" that's shown in the attached screen capture.. I have re-tried the same scenario, several times, both yesterday and today, with the same results. Trying the same scenario in Google Chrome does not result in an error, and I've not had this error in any prior version of Firefox under Windows 10 Pro.

I had been using a bookmark to initially load PayPal in Firefox, but was not using that bookmark in Chrome. I tried not using the bookmark and just using the same URL as I had in Chrome, and then Firefox loaded the page after the CMS-sent text, properly. I did note that PayPal had changed their CMS-sent text entry screen, somewhat. I updated my bookmark in Firefox to the same URL as I'd used in Chrome, and then the page loaded properly in Firefox.
I guess this demonsrates that one should make sure that any bookmark is loading the generic URL for the site, and not loading some subsequent page.
Websites can change their pages at any time or reason.
