Redirect failures even when "look for and prevent redirection" is disabled

I've noticed that even when "look for and prevent redirection" Ghostery option is disabled, after a while Firefox will not follow redirects and instead display a blank page with a link "This page moved HERE". Following the link does not always work (i.e. it redirects, but destination page probably needs cookies/js/whatever).

Restarting Firefox resolves this issue for a while, but it invariably reoccurs after a while. Disabling Ghostery completely solves it - so it would appear to be Ghostery related.

I am using Firefox 28 on MacOS (this has been happening with a few previous releases of Firefox as well)

P.S. Ironically, it happened just as I was trying to submit this question, while being redirected from MS login back to the service, so login failed and I had to resubmit from the beginning.
