How can I make ff stop blocking a website where I need to enter a username and password?

FF always has a notice at the top of a webpage I have to use for work for signing in with my username and password, that says it is blocking the webpage from reloading the webpage. Even though it has a button for letting me click "Allow," as soon as I click "Allow" the button reappears and FF continues to block my use of that webpage. So I copied the url and pasted it into my computer's antivirus exceptions application. After that, there still was no improvement. This problem does not occur when I attempt the same action on a friend's laptop, which is also fitted with FF. Please advise. Thanks.

See:

  • Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
