Recently (late Sept. 2021) on nearly every new website I go to, Firefox message says it prevented page from loading, and I have to click on allow. How can I stop this? It is very annoying.

Chosen solution

In Firefox 56+ the "Warn me when website try to redirect or reload the page" setting can no longer be found in Settings.

You can modify this pref on the about:config page to disable this accessibility feature.

  • accessibility.blockautorefresh = false

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".
