Firefox blocks all pages linked from a previous page. I have to tell it to "allow" the page to load. How do I stop this?
I click on a link from one page (email for instance). This opens another tab but doesn't load. I have to click "allow" to get the next page. How do I stop that from happening?

Type about:preferences#advanced<enter> in the address bar. Under Advanced, select General Turn off Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page.
In Firefox 56+ the "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" setting can no longer be found in Options/Preferences. You can modify this pref on the about:config page to enable or disable this feature

True Instead of refreshing a page automatically when [meta http-equiv="refresh"] is present (or Refresh HTTP headers), display a browser message indicating the refresh and allow the user to follow it manually.
False Allow automatic page refreshes
Thanks for the effort. I really do appreciate it. However,
"Under Advanced, select General Turn off Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page. "
Isn't a listed option. Could this have something to do with the fact that I'm using a Mac? I"m also using Firefox 63.0.3. I don't know if that means anything. Again.Thanks for trying!
In my last post, look at; In Firefox 56+

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
To say that a different way:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste access and pause while the list is filtered
(3) If the accessibility.blockautorefresh preference is bolded and "modified" or "user set" to true, double-click it to restore the default value of false
If this is something different then please post a screenshot.
