Recently Firefox started giving the following message on some sites. "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." This is preventing me logging in to my banking site and is a annoying on others. When I click the 'log-in' button on the site below the message flashes up then the screen goes blank with a 'done' message at the bottom.
