Using firefox-esr in Stretch (52.8.1 btw, also in Jessie now) and just 
clicked the above link ( https://manpages.debian.org/ ) in Thunderbird 
to get the same spinning "Transferring data from manpages.debian.org" 
and the tab still hasn't loaded after several minutes.

I also right-clicked the link, "copy link location" and pasted  it into 
another tab's address bar. It appeared as exactly the same URL in the 
address bar, but loaded immediately. Likewise if I select the text, 
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V in Firefox. Immediate.

I've only noticed this with the Debian manpages site though. URLs in 
mail messages are usually opened instantly in a new non-focussed tab. 
Maybe some addon some of us are using is getting in the way of Mozilla's 
handling of link requests?

(That first tab still hasn't loaded why I've been slowly typing this.)
