How do I stop the "Firefox prevented this page from automatically . . .
To stop this message from displaying, you're supposed to be able to go to General>Advanced and uncheck the "Warn me" box. However, I don't see an Advanced tab under Options>General. Did that disappear in Firefox 56.0?
The message is "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I get that far too often on standard sites I visit and need to be able to turn that message off.
How do I stop that message? Yes, I know it's there for a reason, but I have other ways of blocking unwanted redirects.

When I looked at the setting it was already set to False. I set it to true and then back to false and the redirects stopped. It looks to me that on upgrading to version 56 that the accessibility.blockautorefresh setting is actually set to true even though it says it is set to false.
When I first saw the problem I did the usual refresh/reset firefox and it did not help the problem. It seems to be a problem with the initial upgrade from Version 55 to 56.0 and 56.0.1. The best solution would be to put the setting back into the options page.定位到答案原位置 👍 0

Hi, the Options page was reorganized in Firefox 56 and that checkbox is no longer included. There is another way to change the setting:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or 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
Success?
Thank you. I just made this change and will stop back in a while to let you know if the problem is finally fully resolved.

It turns out that changing the state of the accessibility.blockautorefresh flag from true to false only works for the current session. As soon as I closed the page and reopened it I get the same Redirect Notice again even though the flag is set to False for the accessibility.blockautorefresh setting. The setting is not working in version 56 and 56.0.1.
I've already tried safe mode and resetting and deleting the current profile. None of these solutions help at all. Please put the selection back as it was in the Advanced section prior to Version 56. Or...fix version 56 so that it actually works correctly. Thank you, Yessongs1
I'm having trouble understanding what could cause that. As far as I know, that's the only setting in Firefox which can generate that toolbar. If double-switch it (double-click to true, double-click to false), does that make any difference?
Oh, I just remembered you can switch the layout of the page back (at least in Firefox 56):
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste oldorg and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.preferences.useOldOrganization preference to switch the value from false to true
I really cannot comprehend why this is not more obvious in Firefox options. My bank and several serious websites that I use keep getting this pop up. What I really want is that the pop-up gave me a choice to always allow this page to redirect, but continue to warn me. Disabling seems dangerous.

This ancient feature was designed in a more innocent time to help prevent users of assistive software such as screen readers from losing their place. It was never intended as a security feature and has not been updated to accounts for the myriad ways that modern websites work.
Maybe someone will step forward and rewrite this part of Firefox in a future version, but until then, it's broken on many sites and you either need to turn it off or live with its problems.
The message I am getting is: Sorry for the inconvenience, we have detected an issue with your browser which is preventing you from continuing. Is this related to the above suggestions? I can't get through to ticketek.com.au with Firefox or Chrome.
Hi merrijigster
I've answered in your own thread, so may keep the conversation there since this thread is about another issue.
