I went to Mozilla first, here is their answer:

There are two location redirects sent by the server on that request and Firefox doesn't allow that.

If you leave out the &goto=newpost then only one redirect is sent and it works.
If you click the above link that has a trailing ')' then that also makes the server send only one redirect because that link is no longer valid.


IE has not closed this hole.......yet.

Here is a Bimmerpost answer:

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Unfortunately, I can't explain why firefox would decide to handle links in this way but of course it is their prerogative. It seems the only solution would be to use a different browser as obviously when you follow that example link you would want to link into e89.zpost.com and not any other bimmerpost site, and so the server properly corrects the link for you.
