Steps to reproduce the issue
I first met this problem on clicking the Admin Title bar 'Open Front end in New Window' icon. The new window says: '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.'.
I can reproduce it: open Google Chrome and delete all cookies. Then use this URL: http://localhost/j4beta2/index.php - sometimes comes back with a trailing / - generates that error message. So try this url: http://localhost/j4beta2/index.php/en/ - and that works.
I am updating my nightly build almost every day. This is a multilingual site used for testing.

Additional comments
I stepped through with the debugger to here:

Please post screenshots of
- the Multilingual Status module
- the Content Languages manager and check the URL Language Code (sef) for each content language. You may just be missing it for a language.
Updating Nightly builds may also be the problem as well as not creating any Home menu item for your nl-NL language.
EDIT: I am pretty sure it is due to a missing URL Language Code.
This means we need to add an error in the Multilingual Status module as it does not check that aspect.
Isnt it a required field?
Item 1:
Item 2:
I installed nl-NL to see the Dutch translations of Help screens. I don't remember when I made nl-NL the default language. I had no need to do that - I selected it in the Admin login screen.

Item 2:
If the language set up is all wrong it follows installation of the multi-language data set and lots of patch testing. Installation of nl-NL was very recent.
You have the url language code, but the rest is missing.
If you want to test multilingual, make sure you installed the languages in a clean site and then use the Multilingual Sample Data module in the dashboard to create a fully simple multilingual site.
That is what I did - but back at Beta1 or 2 stage. Time for a clean install! Sorry to waste your time.
That term 'Manager' is not present in the Admin interface other than in the Help Screens - confusing!
No p. :)
Where does that Testing Sample Data come from?
It is only present on dev. It will not be released with stable.
Setting site Error Reporting to Maximum I also get this:
( ! ) Notice: Undefined index: nl-NL in /Users/ceford/Sites/j4beta2/plugins/system/languagefilter/languagefilter.php on line 455
I installed nl-NL for testing the Admin interface. I have not created any content with it. The page kept reloading error messages until stopped manually.
