I can't reproduce the problem (Firebug 1.10 + Firefox 16)

Here is what I am doing:

1) Load http://teaminmetsu.com
2) Open Firebug (F12) and reload the page
3) Step by step click on 'Home', 'Forums' and 'Activity' links at the
top (wait several sec between clicks)
4) I don't see any additional/infinite page reloads

What else can I do to see the problem?

Btw. I see some errors in the Console panel when refreshing the page
e.g.: SyntaxError: XML can't be the whole program

Forgot to note. You can also try to install Firebug in a fresh new
profile:
http://getfirebug.com/wiki/index.php/FAQ#Installing_in_a_clean_profile

to avoid possible collisions with other extensions and problems with
possibly broken profile.

I saw this issue once.

What I did:

Opened Firebug on teaminmetsu.com
Removed all cookies set for that page
Switched to the HTML panel
Reloaded the page

Though I can't reproduce it now anymore. Though I assume it's related to window.location.href=window.location.href.

Now I can reproduce it, using the attached code.

<html><body><script>document.cookie='aaaaaaa=38bc5d30aaaaaaa_38bc5d30;path=/';window.location.href=window.location.href;</
script></body></html>

There are two statements:
document.cookie='aaaaaaa=38bc5d30aaaaaaa_38bc5d30;path=/';

and:
window.location.href=window.location.href;

which is causing another reload when the page is loaded
