All answers to this question were posted in 2014 and do not apply to Firefox 49. I am a smart internet user, and know where I am going. Firefox blocks all redirects and asks me if I want to allow it. Of course I do, since most sites I am doing business with and it was me that requested to go to another website. So someone, PUHLEASE, just tell me how to allow ALL redirects without being prompted?

The Firefox redirect add-on just plagues you with rule creation, none of which I give a shit about.

In Firefox 49.3, we just hit Advanced under option to find it. Thanks for everything.

I don't know what add-on you're referring to, but please check whether you have this optional setting turned on:

Linux: "3-bar" menu button (or Edit menu) > Preferences

In the left column, click Advanced. On the right side, with the "General" mini-tab active, uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" if it is checked.

(This is an accessibility feature intended for users of screen reading software and not a general-purpose tool of value to most users.)
