i finally got tired of being redirected to a capture page when a URL could not be found. it was pdfforge toolbar which got installed a looong time ago when i installed some other add-on i no longer use (pdf print or something?). anyway, now it seems that all redirects are broken. i get benign things like: Moved Permanently

The document has moved here. Apache/2.2 Server at www.boingboing.net Port 80

to much more broken pages that require redirects. actually the mozilla pages come up blank. posting from another computer...

i have "warn me when webpages try to redirect or reload the page" turned off in prefs.

yeah, this seemed to work. not sure if just re-installing did it, or the update to 20 did it. i'm thinking the former...
