Notice this happens more in gmail. Is his more a Google problem that a Firefox problem? My reasoning for calling it a problem is because I rarely get on web sites that this action would be necessary. browser: Firefox, v56.0 OS: Windows-10

The warning about reloading or redirecting is meant as an accessibility feature so people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and isn't meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

In Firefox 55 and lower:

  • Options/Preferences -> Advanced -> General: Accessibility
    remove checkmark: [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

In Firefox 56+ this setting can no longer be found in Options/Preferences.

You can modify this pref on the about:config page to enable or disable this feature

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
