I did some more research on this issue. The culprit is firefox which
thinks it is redirected to another site as the URL is modified and just
warns the user that the request has been redirected.

The following code is triggering this

   [ "$FORM_cmd" = "Backup" ] && echo "Refresh: 2;
url=$SCRIPT_NAME?STAGE=1&SESSIONID=$SESSIONID"

Here we refresh the page with a modified URL and modern Browsers don't
like that.
