Comment (by heywoodj123@…):

 Confirming the exact same error message quoted in the bug report cited in
 this ticket with the latest TBB alpha (MacOS 10.6.8, stock Tor Browser
 Bundle 4.0-alpha-1-MacOS with no additions or changes).

 Upon attempting to log in to Lycos Mail, I first see a popup warning about
 the target page trying to access image data on a canvas. After a few
 seconds, this popup goes away on its own without any intervention. After
 that, I get to the Lycos Mail login page, submit username and password,
 and encounter the aforementioned circular redirection error.

 The only workaround I've found so far is to completely disable NoScript
 under Tools>Add-ons, then restart TorBrowser. TBB's out-of-the-box default
 configuration (i.e. NoScript enabled but with the default "Allow Scripts
 Globally (dangerous)" setting) does not work -- it produces the error
 described above.

 Additionally, page rendering on Lycos Mail is badly broken in this version
 of TBB, but I suspect that has more to do with the underlying Firefox ESR
 than with TBB itself.

 Happy to test subsequent alpha builds if it would help.
