Firefox won't let pages redirect when they need to. How can I stop this?
When on websites I've always used I have to "allow" to move from one area to another. I've not had to do that before. Across the top it says "Firefox prevented this page from redirecting" or "page from reloading" and then when I hit allow it still doesn't work a lot of the time. I removed some add-ons because I thought they might be causing it but that didn't help. Haven't been able to find anything under "options" on my other add-ons that looks like it would stop what it's doing. Please help!

There is a setting to turn that on and off. If you didn't set it yourself, perhaps one of your extensions did? Anyway, please (un)check here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

This sounds more like a security issue than it does an add-on issue. Reset FF settings to default and if the problem still persists I'd re-Install FF. Playing with the default security settings is not advisable unless you are a power user as messing with these will put your browsing activities and ultimately your PC at risk. Let us know if the above mentioned steps dont solve your issue and we will look further into your problem ASAP.
