    I don't know if the new Firefox update is causing problems for anyone else, but I'm getting "The page isn't redirecting properly" messages every time I log into BigSoccer on my PC.

    I've turned off the enhanced tracking protection (and refreshing), and it still doesn't redirect properly.

    Any suggestions?

    It's still happening at 7:30 PM, if anyone has any suggestions.

    I am, however, able to log in via MS Edge with no problems, from the same PC. It must be the most recent update to Firefox.

    Hello, anybody there?

    I feel weird, having a conversation with myself. :rolleyes:

    Any Moderators around? @Huss ? @dark knight ? @soccernutter ?

    OK, Now I've switched to MS Edge, because I can't get to BigSoccer via Firefox, however, BigSoccer won't allow me in unless I allow cookies - otherwise known as allowing pop up ads to run - and I've been a paying member for many years, which is supposed to allow you to browse without the annoying ads.

    Can one of you fine folks let me know what is going on? Is there a change in BS policy regarding paying members, and being forced to deal with annoying ads?

    The administrators and super moderators don't respond much. Huss left a while ago. In addition to who you named, there's @Janet H and I thought there was Andy R but there's no one with that username now.

    Sorry I have no suggestions. I do have the SAME problem. I can use Safari to get to BigSoccer (like now), but it is inconvenient for me because I prefer to use Firefox, and all my bookmarks are there.

    I think I fixed it - at least the "isn't re-directing properly" didn't come up and I was able to log in.
    I can't remember exactly, but I clicked on the "i" information symbol and got to a page in Firefox Support and clicked on "Refresh Firefox".
    Here are directions I found after searching "how to refresh Firefox"

    You can enter about:support into Firefox’s address bar to go directly to the “Troubleshooting Information” page. Click “Refresh Firefox” to reset the browser settings.


    It will remove add-ons and customizations and restore firefox settings to default.

    I did not lose any bookmarks, but I can't tell you if anything got changed.

    Thanks @CoachJon ! That appears to work, now. I'll need to play with the bookmarks to get everything back the way I liked it, but this works!
    Thanks a million!

    Glad it's working now. As noted the latest Firefox update has been troublesome for many folks. Disabling plugins seems to help.
