Firefox and Reversing *Permanent* 301 Redirects ...

If it learns once that some URL has 301 Redirect it will keep redirecting even if redirect is no longer in place (which is correct as redirect was permanent). However sometimes redirect target may change ...

In this case use Live HTTP headers extension and replay GET request - it will re-execute correct request and teach Firefox about new permanent redirection ... really!
