Why does Firefox now have a bar which pops up with "Allow" on it? No matter how many times I click on Allow, it just keeps coming back, stuffing some logins

I don't know enough to know why it's doing this, or what to do about it. That's why I asked the question!

I'm going to guess it's the redirect one. You can turn that off here:

orange Firefox 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"

Does that help?

More info on that dialog: Advanced panel - Accessibility, browsing, network, updates, and other advanced settings in Firefox

There are a few different bars you could see that have an "Allow" button: page wants to redirect, pop-up window was blocked, page wants to install software... Can you be more specific about which message you're seeing?
