When I attempt to go from the home page of my forwarding service, usa.net, to my messages I receive the message "Foxfire prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. " Clicking on "allow" opens the page. How can I overcome this?
Fully stated above.

See:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > 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.

I have no Firefox>Preferences option, in any menu or tool option.
Firefox > Preferences is used on a Mac to access the Firefox settings (options).
- Linux: Edit > Preferences
- Mac: Firefox > Preferences
- Windows: Firefox > Options or Tools > Options
Press F10 if the menu bar is hidden on Windows and Linux
Me neither. If I do, I can't find it. Does anyone know where it is?? and how to get to it??
What do I do after I get "Options" Which one do I use?

This solution was perfect
Everyone keeps telling me this but I went to that and I had it checked so I unchecked it and nothing happened (re: answer from cor-el)
It was the Yahoo Toolbar. I deleted it. When you open Firefox, click Tools Add-ons, Extensions and delete the Toolbar. Yay!!!
