Just found some more info about this. Apparently FireFox, my

option to disable referrers. This article suggests another option
for handling the redirect.

OK, I'm answering my own question again. It turns out that I had the
"disable referrers" set in the Web Developer extension. Now I don't
know if FireFox disables referrers by default, but I thought it
important to mention why I was having trouble with the Comments
extension. So anybody running Firefox and having a problem with the
redirect_to :back, check that you are allowing referrers.
That is all. Everything else about the Comments extension seems to
work perfectly with Radiant 0.7.1.
Nate, not that I want to rain on your parade, but I *think* IE cannot
be relied upon to send the referrer back to the server (depending on
settings/versions/who-knows-what it may think it's a security risk).
It's been a while since I looked into it, though.
When I'm handling logins and then redirects-on-success, I track the
last-visited-page in the session (excluding POSTs, session-related
pages, etc), and redirect to that instead, rather than using
HTTP_REFERER. Not sure if that's any help in your situation though.
And all that said, it really has been a few years since I hit this
problem with IE. I could be wrong.
