I do not want to upgrade to 7.0, I am attending online college and the upgraded version does not work with my school. How can I stop Firefox from upgrading? I have to keep uninstalling the upgrade and installing the old one.

I have another question... My on-line school often redirects me to another site. How can I get it to automatically redirect it without clicking on the "allow" button

more options

It's not a good idea to allow websites to redirect to another site until you know for sure the original site is trustworthy.

But if you still want to do it (again not a good idea).

Tools>Options>Advanced>General - In Accessibility, uncheck "warn me when web sites try to redirect..." option.

Is there any way that I can allowed the redirection for my school website ONLY? Otherwise, I will just keep clicking "allow". I do know that this website is trustworthy. however, I do not want to apply this to all websites.

No, you can't. It's an universal yes or no option as far as I know.
