I found what was wrong! The problem comes from the <meta http-equiv="refresh">
HTML tag. The URL attribute of this tag is
file:///C:/Program%20Files/LibreOffice/program/../help/index.html?Target=swriter/.uno%3AHelpIndex&Language=fr&System=WIN&Version=6.2,
and obviously Firefox can't handle it.
If JavaScript is disabled or blocked either by a third-party extension such as
NoScript or in the Firefox Development Tools settings, the script block with

> window.location.href = "file:///C:/Program%20Files/LibreOffice/program/../help/index.html?Target=swriter/.uno%3AHelpIndex&Language=fr&System=WIN&Version=6.2"

won't execute, and using the redirection mechanism provided by the <meta> block
fails, resulting in an infinite loop.

I'm updating the patch and bug reproduction instructions right now!
