With my browser open, while visiting a site or email, when I click on a link, Firefox blocks it everytime. How do I stop that?

Any and all links that I click on while using Firefox, this pop up comes along under the header of the page, stating that Firefox has blocked this link, so I have to X out of it in order to get to that new site, even on my gmail accounts. I just started having this issue within the past two weeks, not sure if it was due to a recent update or not, but it is annoying when using my systems and delays my progress in whatever I am trying to accomplish. It just annoys me a lot, so how can I stop that from happening?

Your post is currently under Android, but is this problem on your Windows 8.1 system?

For a "desktop" version of Firefox:

  • Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options
  • Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
  • Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences

In the left column, click Advanced. Then on the right side, with the "General" mini-tab active, make sure the following is not selected (box is not checked): "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

This is Les The BEST, and the pop up says that Firefox had blocked the page from being re-directed. I just updated and installed the latest version of Firefox a couple of weeks ago, and this was not happening prior to that.
