I want to be able to disable auto refresh while at the same time allow redirection. Currently the settings for those two features are orthogonal. How do I make this happen? Problem: Instagram keeps auto refreshing - very annoying, Turn off auto refresh in the about:config and now all redirect pages hace a warning message that i have to click through - very annoying. Please help.
