"Allow" button - don't know what to do, because no explanation provided
I don't know what I am allowing, if I click the "Allow" button! I'm reluctant to click on it blindly, without having some more information about what site is being blocked and will be unblocked if I click on the button. Is that good web design??? Is there some offline explanation somewhere? (I have already sent 2 squawks today to "Firefox Submit Feedback" on this issue.) Chronic problem, since one of the version-updates 2-3 months ago. This command button "Allow" appears in a small window above the active Firefox screen and below the toolbars. One issue is that there is no right-click functionality on the button. Only a red x icon for "close this message" appears beside it. The left side of this mini-window has an icon, but it isn't responsive and I can't distinguish the source because its image is too small. If this is a feature from an add-on, then which one? I operate with the NoScript addon, and it is up-to-date. I have identified a couple of hundred sites to the Whitelist in NoScript.

The screenshot image doesn't load, so I can't clearly see what you mean.
Do you mean this?
- Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "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.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
cor-el, Let's try the screenshot upload once more. It's in *.png, created in MS Paint, which Mozilla's instructions suggested I have also saved it as an *.rtf file, using MS WordPad, but Mozilla won't accept *.rtf's.
Looks that this notification bar is coming from an extension, possibly NoScript as the red blocking part on the icon looks similar.
Did you check the settings in NoScript and what content is blocked on the page?
If necessary then ask advice on the NoScript forum.
