Firefox keeps blocking my webpage from changing to a new page - I don't want it to do this. How to I stock the blocks?
When working in several different programs (Auctiva is one) I get a message that Firefox blocked my webpages attempt to direct me to a new page. Sometimes I can click allow, but sometimes the message is gone so fast i have No Option. In most cases this page switch is necessary for what I am doing to happen - in Auctivia my listing won't post to eBay for hours if it can't switch pages. How can I stop Firefox for blocking these page switches. It is happening more and more. I have adjusted everything I can think of in settings, but nothing helps.

- In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.
- Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
- copy (from here) the accessibility.blockautorefresh and paste it in the search field
- now you have the preference and the value, if it is false it is OK, otherwise double-click on it to make it false
- exit the about:config page, exit firefox and restart it.
do the same with network.http.prompt-temp-redirect , note we want true as a value in that one.
thanks

Can you check the next preferences in about:config
- network.http.prompt-temp-redirect must be true
- accessibility.blockautorefresh must be false
thanks

I'm sorry I've never done that before - just tell me how to reach about:config!
