bar at the top of the page that says, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". : The problem is that I have no idea what page I am trying to be directed to! Is there any way to find out what web page I am being redirected to without clicking "Allow"?

Just looking for a way to identify the blocked redirect.

(Though If there is no way to determine what page firefox is blocking then it would be great to be told that as well!)

If you worry about redirects or other problems consider some suitable add-on. noscript is popular and comprehensive & effective, but may take a while to customise and set up.

Look at or search from

Please post back with how you get on.
