CentOS - Apr 2014 - firefox problem with redirects on centos 5

I'm having a peculiar problem with Firefox only on my Centos 5 desktop.
Every time I try a link from a search engine and even when I type in a location,
I get a redirect error:

"The page isn't redirecting properly.
"Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this
address in a way that will never complete."

However, any link in my bookmarks works, as do a couple of remote IPs I have in
/etc/hosts.? (Does places.sqlite store IP numbers? )

All the machines use the router for DNS,? and the router goes to OpenDNS.

This problem *only* affects Firefox, and only on the one Centos 5 machine. I
have Centos 6 machines, Macs and Androids on the LAN.. Firefox works fine
everywhere else. On the Centos 5 box, Opera works fine.

?Any suggestions?

FF works fine on C5.10

Care to send me the link and I'll try.

It sounds like the web site is redirecting into a loop.

Clear-out your FF cache - that may help.
