Redirect to same page - the page is in endless loop

Question

I have made a huge mistake. I am working with a backend system, where I am only allowed to post simple html and CSS code.

I needed to make a redirect from page x to page y. Therefore I posted this code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=site.com/page/page-x">

But I made a mistake, so I made the redirect to the same page. That means the page is just refreshing every 0.5 seconds. I cannot make it stop, so I can delete the code I made in the backed.

Can I stop the redirect in the inspector window in Chrome or Firefox, so I can delete the redirect code?

I cross my fingers somebody can help me.

Try disabling META REFRESH in the browser.

In Firefox, go to about:config , find accessibility.blockautorefresh and set it to true .

Hopefully it will prevent a page from refreshing.
