I have a couple of things do with internet based apps such as my banking. There software wants to "re-direct" and I have to click. It's obviously not a big issue but I never had to do that before about versions in the forties. Do I have a setting wrong or something else?

Thanks,

Please turn off the redirect block here:

  • 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"

If you do not recall turning that on yourself, possibly one of your add-ons changed it as part of a set of changes. If it gets turned on again, you may need to investigate whether any of your add-ons are doing it.
