Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
WORKAROUND: network.http.enforce-framing.soft = false
This server is clearly dead stupid: $ curl "http://www.drwindows.de/attachment.php?attachmentid=32069&stc=1&d=1332258871" curl: (18) transfer closed with 141175 bytes remaining to read Meaning that the 301 response is returned claiming to have "Content-Length: 141175" but the connection is still closed after the headers without sending a single byte of body...
Flags: needinfo?(daniel)
We probably don't need to fail such a response when it is a redirect.
I agree that it the check probably can be skipped safely for all 3xx redirects, but it means yet another kludgey exception to the checks.
this doesn't seem to be running rampant, so let's see if TE can get the site fixed.

Another example of non-working redirect seems to be the "Meine Konten" button on "https://www.rabodirect.de/" that opens "https://www.rabodirect.de/includes/redirects.aspx?type=anmelden". Middle-clicking it to open in a new tab works (but isn't the desired way to do it), left-clicking it to open the pop-up (same URL, just in a "special" window) leaves an empty page that Firebug identifies as a 301 Moved Permanently redirect. Setting "network.http.enforce-framing.soft = false" does not help in any way.

It works for me, left clicking on the link opens the page in a pop-up, same from the context menu in a new tab/window. Try in safe mode or with a fresh profile.

Try in safe mode or with a fresh > profile. Ah sorry, should have researched a bit more before. It seems Ghostery is causing that. (Though I don't really see how that would be related to its usual work, which is why I didn't expoect it to be the cause in the first place.)
