Going to e-mail I get: Firefox is preventing redirecting to another page and I have to click on Allow. How do I correct this problem?

When I use my shortcut to go to my Cox e-mail account, I receive a line across the top of the page stating" Firefox is preventing redirecting to another page, then I must click on ALLOW to go to my Cox web page to sign in. How or what settings must I change so Firefox will go automatically to the new page and my Cox Web Page sign in page?

Thanks, Love Firefox so far! Great features!!

See:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

The setting in "Tools > 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.
