A strange little thing is happening in Firefox for me. I tried under both 57.0.4 and now 58.0. I've tried with add-ons disabled too, but for some reason whenever I try to go to this site:
http://ottawa.postfastr.com/
it takes me to this site instead:
http://us.postfastr.com/
But when I try this under Edge, it gets to the proper site. What could be going on here?
Website keeps getting redirected, only in Firefox!

Edge and Vivalid do the same redirect here. Even typing the "ottawa" part in using Edge results in a redirect to the US site.

Edge is getting to the right site for me. I haven't got another browser installed, so I can't test if another one will have the same issue. I'll try to install Chrome, see what happens.

Re: Website keeps getting redirected, only in Firefox!
Just a FWIW...
Both my Firefox v20, (I know, it's old), & my v57 go to the "ottawa.postfastr.com" site, no probs.
&, v57 has "geo enabled" set to FALSE.
As Brummelchen mentioned, could it be a "locale" thingy?

you remind me testing a new profile - no redirect (germany/europe)
it could have been http://deutschland.postfastr.com/ for me.

Okay, installed Chrome, it got to the right site right away too. So both Edge & Chrome do it properly.bbbl67 wrote:Edge is getting to the right site for me.

I've also tried it under a VPN, and tried going through different routes, and it makes no difference either.

Strange, starting a few minutes ago, those webistes are working again in FF properly! Maybe there was some kind of a DNS or website timing issue with that site, and FF was more sensitive to it? Wish there was some kind of way to log connection issues in FF?
