How do I get firefox to stop telling me it stopped the web site I am on from opening a new window even though it has gone to the next page I have clicked on?

This happens even on my banking sites and bill pay sites. The little bar comes down at the top of the page. Gives me the option of allow, when I right click it does not do anything. I have to click the x or allow to make it go away.

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.
