Firefox, Google Calendar and “The page isn’t redirecting properly”

Wipe-out! Do you have a problem loading Google Calendar in Firefox and getting:

The page isn’t redirecting properly“, “This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.“?

I only removed one cookie for Domain ‘.www.google.com‘ and Path ‘/calendar/‘ and problem was solved!

The dot prefixing the ‘www’ is causing the problem I think.

Happy surfing!

Happy testing!

“When you play this movie now, it will be finished at 23:15.”

Very handy…!
