I'm using the Android version of Firefox on a LG V30. I fly a lot on Southwest Airlines and use the on board WiFi. When I connect to the on board WiFi I have to open the browser to enter the log-in information needed by get connected.southwest.com. And usually when I open the browser the current tab is https://m.control.com and it automatically goes to getconnected.southwest.com and I enter the log-in information, but in the last month or so when i try to get back to m.control.com--by any method!--I'm always redirected to get connected.southwest.com. No matter if I type in m.control.com, or https://m.control.com, or use a bookmark or any method. I can get to https://control.com, but that's not optimized for a mobile device. When I'm not flying the redirection to get connected.southwest.com occurs more often than not, but not always. And I can usually get to m.control.com by manually entering the URL. HOW DO I STOP FIREFOX FROM AUTOMATICALLY REDIRECTING ME FROM ANY WEBSITE TO getconnected.southeest.com

I don't know the relationship between the two sites. Firefox may have cached a redirect, in which case you could remove that by clearing the cache, or perhaps a cookie for the site triggers the site to send a redirect to Firefox, so you could try clearing cookies.

See: Clear your browsing history and other personal data on Firefox for Android -- make sure to only select the types of data you really want to clear.

Or what if you try this URL:

https://m.control.com/?abc123

Adding the parameter may bypass previously saved behaviors, and presumably the server is just going to ignore abc123 since no one would name a real variable or page abc123.
