In Firefox 3.6.12 (a version users of Illumos/OpenIndiana and Linux distros without rolling updates might be stuck with), Diaspora is periodically refreshed all the time, as fast as the pod server permits. Attempts to access the settings or any other part of the page fail; the browser gets redirected to the initial page instantly.

I have only observed this on OpenIndiana. (Don't have any ancient Linux distro with Firefox 3.x.) On Linux, everything seems to work fine in Firefox 9.x and Chromium. This might be a bug in old Firefox versions. Or it could be a bug in Diaspora's client-side scripts, to which the old Firefox is more sensitive than the new one...
