Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of why Firefox would ignore a redirect from .htaccess when IE accepts it just fine. Here's the redirect...

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*) http://www.mydomain.com/vbforum/ [R=301,L]

And it's in a .htaccess file which is in the /Forum/ sub-directory.

It works perfectly fine with IE but firefox ignores it and gives me the index of the Forum sub-directoy with the standard link the parent directory and then this...

Apache/2.2.14 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.14 OpenSSL/0.9.8e-fips-rhel5 DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.8.8 Server at www.mydomain.com Port 80

Any ideas why this would be happening? I'm using IE9 and Firefox 14.0.1
