Can you give more detail how you are redirecting (server location response header or meta tag or otherwise) and what goes wrong?

Are there error messages in the Web Console or in the Network Monitor?

Thank you for taking time to answer my question. When I just click on an Elsevir link, it doesn't go to the desired page. For instance this url does not work with Firefox: http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S001910351600097X

It doesn't give any error message, the tab header show "redirecting" but nothing happens.

When I paste this url in Chrome, the following page opens: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001910351600097X?via%3Dihub

I don't know if that's a problem with Elsevier or Firefox... Thanks for your help! Cecile

Suggest you make your redirect in your .htaccess rather than just code as this is best practises as per the the W3C

This has the advantage of being a very fast and immediate redirect. It also depends on your reason for the redirect. This is a more permanent method because it sends the HTTP 301 status code signifying that the file has moved permanently and causes many browsers to cache that request. You can change the code to something else like a 302 for temporary redirects.

Note: You can google for best practises for redirect Html Code.

Thanks for your answer. I am sorry but I do not understand your comment about the redirection since I am not an expert. I get the redirecting link when I want to look up a scientific paper from ADS : for instance, when I look for a colleague's article at this page : http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016Icar..272...32Q I click on "Electronic Refereed Journal Article (HTML)" on the top left side of the page, and this gives me the redirecting link that doesn't go through with firefox (it used to work without problem though... only recently have I had trouble with these links). When I use Chrome it works, but I'd rather stick to FF :) Thanks for your help! Cecile

Works fine here in Firefox 56 and I see redirecting in the tab and end up here:

• http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001910351600097X?via%3Dihub

The Network Monitor show a "301 Moved Permanently" response. Redirect=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001910351600097X?via%3Dihub key=4badea5871ce5b7cfbd315b1ef7c78c1c8052912

If you use extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) that can block (wanted) content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Ghostery, uBlock Origin) always make sure such extensions do not block (wanted) content.

• make sure your extensions and filters are updated to the latest version

Firefox has an accessibility feature "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" warning so people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused when the URL suddenly changes and this feature isn't meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility_features_of_Firefox

In Firefox 56+ the "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" setting can no longer be found in Options/Preferences.

You can inspect and modify this pref on the about:config page to enable or disable this feature.

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Adblock was the problem! Thanks so much, sorry for the trouble... Don't know why it started blocking the "wanted" redirections. Thank you very much for taking the time to help me :)
