Each time I click on a link in my email, I get an error msg after a new tab is opened:

"Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page"

And I have to always click the tab that says "ALLOW" Why????

See:

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

The setting in "Options/Preferences > 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.

Thank you! . . . I thought I had clicked and unclicked everything that was relevant to this thorny problem, but apparently not.

I never had this Firefox problem before, when I used previous versions over the years (I guess Firefox default checked-it in a new version).

Cor-el, may you always catch your prey. /Lonewolf™
