How do I get rid of this constant pop up? "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier"? I sell and purchase on eBay and every time I move from an eBay item back to my eBay main page I get this constant pop up. It also happens on other secure sites. I already know what I am doing so I would love to get rid of this little time waster. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page or refresh a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a (hidden) POST form.
Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form.
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.
Then you can close that tab or window to go back.
