I've seen similar behavior in a Firefox profile on other sites that are owned by Gannett. (For me, it's just a redirect loop that never resolves, but no error message) The profile is on a computer that I can't check immediately, so I don't know the specifics of that profile (especially with ad blocking and cookie handling), but I know that my standard suggestion of clearing cache and cookies doesn't have any effect.

I do find it interesting that Gannett-owned sites are remarkably similar in configuration, including overall display format, and extensive list of scripting hosts used, both for content delivery (such as gannett-cdn.com and gcion.com) and tracking/ad delivery (kxrd.com, newrelic.com, onetrust.com, urbanairship.com, etc.) It's remarkably centralized, and you see the same behavior whether you're at USA Today, Nashville Tennessean, Reno Gazette, Arizona Republic, Indianapolis Star, El Paso Times or any other Gannett property.

I haven't had problems in my primary Seamonkey profile (2.53.5.1), so I haven't taken the effort to try to figure out. For normal usage in Seamonkey, I have NoScript set to disallow nearly all the domains in question, and disallow third-party cookies.
