How do I prevent Firefox from notifying me that I'm being redirected to another page, without unchecking the feature.

I know the answer to this question already. But it would mean I need to uncheck "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page". Ideally, I would like to keep this checked. But is there a way that when I hit "Allow" for certain websites, Firefox will remember those sites, so that it doesn't keep asking me to "Allow" each time I load them up. Putting the URL in Block pop-up windows Exceptions doesn't work.

Hi!

I'm not sure if there's any add-on that allows you to achieve that, but by default it's not possible.

That said, it's a really good suggestion so I will pass it to the team.

The setting in "Firefox > Preferences > 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.
