Why am I getting the message mentioned above, and no further information? The only buttons to click on are "Allow" or "X". Without knowing why the page redirection has been stopped, how can I know whether or not it is safe to allow?

This is occuring on virtually every page I go to, including suddenly appearing on my home page. It is very annoying and I want it to stop or at least tell my which page it prevented redirection to, or why. The current "Allow" or "X" is not enough to make an informed decision as to whether to allow or not.

Can anyone help with this please?

-> click Firefox button and click Options -> Advanced panel -> General tab -> Remove Checkmark from Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page -> click OK

Check and tell if its working.

Thank you for your answer. It does stop the redirection notices, but now I have no idea if potentially unsafe sites are redirecting me. I cannot figure out why it has only recently started to happen on my home page though, when nothing has changed on there and I've had it set to show redirections, ever since I set up Firefox.

I guess I'll just have to make the decision as to whether I want to risk redirections or put up with the semi permanent notice.

Thanks again mha007

This feature is not for Security purposes. Its just an Accessibility feature for people with Disabilities.

If you need extra protection on Firefox, see these:
