Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page

[Timescope]

Hello Everyone,

I have recently been getting the "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" warning when viewing pages on the site. Clicking "allow" gets rid of it for some time.

Is it connected to a pop-up that the site generated some time ago ?

I am using Firefox 19.0 beta, Microsoft security essentials, Superantispyware, Malwarebytes, and up to date Windows 7 pro.

Thanks,

Timescope

I find that a useful feature of Firefox. It blocks all sorts of junk. Occasionally something useful gets blocked, but I can live with that

I agree, it can be a useful feature. One of the search engines for multiple Craigslist's required that feature to be active. Apparently, Craigslist (a free listing service for individuals in the US) didn't want users to be able to do that.

Go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Accessibility and check what your setting is for re-directs.

Go to Tools>Options>Advanced>Accessibility and check what your setting is for re-directs.

The setting is: " Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

Have you tried unchecking that box?

Hi John,

I would not like to do that for security reasons.

I can't remember what the pop-up was but it was old and an admin put a "dismiss" button on it to get rid of it.
It had something to do with the forum.

I wish Firefox would also let us know where the page wanted to go to.

I have not noticed it this evening since I came online so it may be fixed.

Thanks,
