New Windows 8.1 PC. Firefox 36.0.1 In gmail, when i click on an outside link, the new page is blocked and I have to click "Allow" every time. Where's the "Always Allow" drop down?

hi, please go to the firefox menu > options > advanced > general and make sure that the option "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" is unchecked.

thanks, But, I am disappointed, I liked it when it would warn me, and I could select "Always Allow." Oh well.

I think it's time for me to be Luddite.

The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
