Please don't send me to the forum pages. I need to check for faults for my customers and use a portal with direct links to another website. I need Firefox to allow the redirect. This is urgent so if you can help I will be eternally grateful :)

Hello FionaRiley, go from Firefox button > Options > Options > Advanced panel > General tab > Accessibility > UNCHECK Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page > OK to save it.

thank you

Note that this setting in "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.

There are other things that may need your attention.

Your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. you can check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

You can delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js
Or you can alternatively reset prefs set via user.js that will appear bold on the about:config page via the right-click context menu to the default value.
