page

Recently my Magento store stopped working. I could access the administrative pages as normal but entering the store as a vistor provoked the Firefox error 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."

Googling provided little help with this problem and no answer, which is why I am writing this... so that I can save someone else the hours it took to get to a solution.
