Why do I keep getting a message at the top of the page of a site I'm on that says Firefox has prevented this page from opening?

Does it mention not redirecting? Please make sure the redirect block is turned off:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste accessibility.blockautorefresh and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the preference has a value of true, double-click it to restore the default value of false

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox.
