Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites?
Question Seasons Greetings. How do I keep firefox 4 from disallowing my most important sites? All the garbage, it lets sail right in, but my bank accounts and library accounts are not allowed. Why is this? I have looked in the help section and tried the permissions manager, but when I type about:permissions in the location bar, I receive the following error, "The URL is not valid and cannot be located." Thanks for any useful information.

You have a setting that is non-default.
Go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General and uncheck the box that says 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'
That should take care of it for you

1) You should update to Firefox 9.0.1 ASAP - there are MANY fixes, including important security ones, since Firefox 4
2) What do you mean by not allowed? Do you get an error message? What appears on the screen?
Thanks for responding. Sorry I wasn't very precise. When attempting to navigate to one of these sites, a message at the top of the screen appears, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." Then there is a dialog box which says, "Allow." Once I 'allow' it, the page I'm trying to open does so. This only occurs with certain pages, and usually pages that I need open without any computer interference. I hope this clarifies things. Again, thanks for taking your time to respond.

That seems to have worked. I thought I had tried that before, but maybe not. Many thanks. I appreciate it. Have a Happy New Year.
No problem. Have a great New Year
