Is it safe to turn off the automatic redirection blocking feature in Firefox?

I know how to turn it off. I want to know the likely consequences of turning it off.

I assume that you mean this?

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

The setting in "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.
