Disable redirect notice on firefox 62 64bit
Whenever i click on a link that uses redirection Firefox opens nothing - when i right click open link in new tab firefox gives me a redirection notice and the choice to open the link. i tried some solution from other questions:
1. There is no setting in preferences that fixes the problem (removed in my version)
2. I tried the config option blockautorefresh but it was already false (i tried toggle it back and forth nothing changed)
3. I tried a solution in the config area there is an option that brings the old preferences layout back but in my case this option is missing.
i would appreciate any help.

My Firefox just updated from 62.0.2 to 62.0.3 and i don't seem to have the problem anymore - i will check it out further and let you know.
Yep the problem is fixed after the update!

No that's not it as i wrote above the problem is a redirect warning from Firefox because sites often use redirect. i don't get redirected to sites i don't want to go. Thanks for your help.
Hi, where are you seeing this problem? We had two users report issues with Google results this week:
- Redirection warning (screenshot doesn't look like a Firefox warning)
- Using google search, nothing happens when requesting cached version. Starting happening recently. Histories are cleared after every session.
I also saw a report on Reddit mentioning it happens on other sites as well:
I haven't seen this myself. I think it must be a particular setting or possibly add-on that causes Firefox not to follow the link to that page, but I don't know what it is.
Are you using Tracking Protection when this happens? See: What happened to Tracking Protection?.
The most usual occurrence is at these 2 sites skroutz.gr & bestprice.gr but not when you go directly into the link you have to choose them from a google search and the reason is because these sites will redirect you to another page with products hence the redirection notice. My problem is exactly the same with first case you mention above (redirection warning) and the last case from reddit.
I don't use tracking protection
and i use 2 addons adblock plus & poper blocker (i have disabled them nothing happens)

Had the problem in 63.0.3 (64-bit). Disabled the Safe Search add-on and the problem was gone. Toggled between on and off and confirmed it was correlated.
