Recently switched from Chrome to Firefox. Having an issue on certain websites on Firefox.

For example...when I go to Macys.com and attempt to look at certain sections, I get rerouted to the home page of macys.com even though the proper address is in the address bar. (e.g. when I attempt to go to this link: http://www1.macys.com/shop/mens-clothing/mens-pants?id=89&edge=hybrid&cm_sp=us_hdr-_-homepage-_-89_Pants which is the men's pants section, I am rerouted to macys.com).

This happens with various other websites.
