When I click a link in Gmail I get a blank window that says Firefox blocked a redirect. I would like it to open automatically.

Hi littletinyfish,

Firefox automatically blocks links. So to allow Gmail redirects, you should add an exception like explained here

more options

See:

  • 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.
