I have certain sites that FireFox will not let to download automatically. I keep clicking on allow and it will let the page download until I do this several times.

How do I stop FireFox and Aurora from doing this?

See:

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

The setting in "Tools > 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.
