I get the message the Firefox prevents going to another page and have to click to allow it. Can this be turned off so I don't have to do this everytime I go to another page?

The message is this: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to give it permission to redirect - a big time waster.

See:

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

The setting in "Firefox > Preferences > 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.
