Why does the latest Firefox keep asking me about redirection at sites?

The latest version/update doesn't have anything in options to allow/memorize redirections to another page for most sites that need that option. Also what happened to bookmarks for mozilla.org? Latest version/update has none, and erased them from previous version.

Hi, go to 3-bar firefox menu (in your right up) > Advanced > General > UNcheck the "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" > close the tab > exit firefox and restart it. Any luck ?

thank you

thanks that did it. Turned out fiancee had checked marked that when viewing any changes by mozilla after last update. She did it because she cruises thru those pages with trivia crap, like ten reasons..., or celebs who do this, etc. and thought that would help speed up going from page to page.

Hi, exist in 3-bar firefox menu or Options > Advanced > General > Accessibility > 3rd in the row "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page".

Thanks. For some reason that option had disappeared. Came back when I restarted FF. It will probably work in general but I liked having the option on a per site basis to either allow for that one time or always. Hope will bring it back.
