I want to allow a site to redirect without being blocked, how can I do it?
Whenever I go to Chase, Firefox blocks that site from redirecting me. I want to allow the redirection to go thru without being blocked. Is there a way I can list this site as a trusted site? I am running Windows10.

Unfortunately, that feature is all or nothing and there is no way to make it site-specific.
I suggest turning off the redirect warning. It was intended to help users with screen readers avoid confusion when the page changed, and was never intended as and rarely is useful as a security feature.
You can turn it off here:
Windows: "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options Mac: "3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences
In the left column, click Advanced. Then on the right side, make sure the "General" mini-tab is selected.
If it is checked, uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"
Perhaps there is an add-on that allows more sophisticated control of redirects, such as site-specific settings. You could search here: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/
When you post, the site polls your plugins and list them under Question Details > More System Details. I noticed you do not have the Flash plugin enabled -- or possibly it's not installed.
In the event that you need it for a site, you can download a full installer from this page:

Scroll down to the first table and find the row for Firefox. Either the EXE or MSI installer will work.

Your response to my question did not solve the problem. I Think Firefox needs to upgrade the ability to allow sites to redirect based on a list of approved sites by the user. This all or nothing method is just not good. It creates a huge security issue if I allow all sites to redirect or else it is an annoyance to have to do this every time I go to certain sites.
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.
