Fix "this webpage has a redirect loop" error in browser

On a daily basis, Internet as a whole suffers from many problems and one such problem that is sometimes encountered is

"The webpage has a redirect loop"

The other times, the redirect error manifests itself with the following details:

Error 310 (net::ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS)

As a result, every time you visit Gmail page in Firefox/Chrome, the redirection loop will prevent access to it.

When Chrome or Firefox starts complaining about redirect loops just do three things:

1) Check the clock and set appropriate Date/Time as per your timezone
2) Clear the Browser cache
3) Kill the browser settings and reset it to default state

By the way, the no of redirect vary depending on browser and are listed below:

  • Chrome 64bit version: 49, ↷ Version 62.0.3202.52 (Official Build) beta, 21 redirects
  • Chrome Canary 64bit, version: 49 ↷ 63.0.3239.6 (Official Build) canary, 21 redirects
  • Firefox 32-bit version: 43 ↷ 56.0, 20 redirects
  • Firefox 64-bit version: 43 ↷ 56.0, 20 redirects
  • IE version: 8 11 redirects via webpagetest.org
  • IE version: 9 121 redirects via webpagetest.org
  • IE version: 10 121 redirects via webpagetest.org
  • IE version: 11.0.9600.18792 110 redirects
  • Opera version: 28, ↷ 48.0.2685.35 (PGO) 21 redirects
  • Safari version: 5.1.7, 16 redirects
  • Google Nexus 5, Samsung Galaxy S4..S8, Galaxy Tab 4, 21 redirects
The latest firefox version - Quantum supports up to 40 redirects.
