When loading my home page I get the following message "firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading". Before I upgraded to V33.0 I was able to fix this issue. The answer was to uncheck the box "warn me when pages try to redirect" but I don't see this option in V33.0.

This should be in the same spot:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab > uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

Also, if you happen to have Google as your home page, you may want to update the address to use the secure page, since Google will redirect you every time.

Thank you for your help. I looked for that option and missed it. Hopefully this will solve my problem!

FWIW, On a Mac the option is in Firefox->Preferences->Advanced->"Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"
