I can log in, but when I click My Games to show my games I get this message:
-------
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.
This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.

Please help

UPDATE:
I think the problem is with the URL.
The address https://armorgames.com/account/games does not work.
But the address https://armorgames.com/settings/favs does work.

If you open it in a new tab, it works but if you just click it, it throws the error.

I just had the same problem in Firefox Quantum. I could be totally wrong here, but I think it's the fact that the forums are http while the rest of the site is https. I think Firefox Quantum is showing the wrong message and should instead be showing a message that you are leaving https to go to http. Also note that when the forums button is clicked it tries to go to

https://armorgames.com/community

which is https but, the actual page is just

http://armorgames.com/community

no "s".

Maybe @MrDayCee can take a look at this.

@Trying : Thank you for the tip on opening it in a new tab
@Reton8 : I think you're correct, that it's a secure protocol issue. At least now I can go to My Games by opening it in a new tab, instead of having to come here to the forums to click it.

My browser recently updated to Quantum and I have had issues since, too.

The problem seems to appear only when going from a https address (such as one's profile) to a http address (like the Forum). http to http, https to https and even http to https appears to work fine.

edit:

If you open it in a new tab, it works but if you just click it, it throws the error.

You're right, that works for me too!

Alternatively, you could try this (worked for me):
If, after installing Firefox Quantum you are getting either the "incorrectly redirecting" error or a big login button (as if you aren't logged in, but you are) hold down [SHIFT] and click the reload button.
That is the shortcut to clear the cache and reload.
It fixed both situations for me but YMMV.

Yeah, effing Quantum update--FF Quantum is a huge lemon. I'm on 58.0.1 and it has the same problem. Clicking on games from my favorites gives the dreaded "isn't redirecting properly" bug. The new tab hack works (thanks!)

Oddly, the newer games from the homepage seem to load just fine without needing a new tab, only my favorites page links seem to fail to load.
