Just chiming in to report that I also have this issue. It was intermittent for a while but recently became 100%, every single time I click on any image in the news feed. It used to be okay if I just opened in a new tab instead, but now even that doesn't work.
I reported it to FB and immediately got a notification to fill out more info. There were some multiple choice answers and additional space for more info. This is what I wrote in my original submission:
I'm experiencing the infinite reload loop with photos. Any time I click on a photo or picture, it "pops up", then the photo disappears, and it "throws" me to the page that's "behind" the image. For example, if it's a friend's photo, it throws me to the friend's profile. If it's a photo posted by a "page" profile (something you can follow but not actually a personal account), it throws me to that page. Then the image pops up and loads again. Then it disappears and I'm back at the page view... and so on to infinity.
I then added that I'm using PM in the second form. I then received a canned email also.

Anyway, what are the 2 workarounds, again? I'm getting lost in 9 pages of posts. Apparently there's the "trident" one, and also the one that Moonchild gave?
One of them is:
Code: Select all
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
Right? How do I apply it, again? Sorry, it's been a while since I messed with the useragent override stuff. (I still don't know what that means -- not a web developer here.)
