I live in a remote rural area. I recently had Hughes Net satellite internet installed. The installer advised me to use Internet Explorer as it worked better with the satellite system than FireFox. I prefer Firerfox. When I opened Firefox and went to several pages I normally browse on it kept showing a box on top of the page "Firefox did not allow to automatically re-direct to another page" I have seen this before, and after clicking on "Allow" it goes to the next page. Currently, when this appears, it just keeps showing up on top of the page over and over again. Any ideas?
