When I enter a search on a website I visit often, "Firefox does not allow" the results page to open. I click "Allow" and it still does not allow; eventually it either goes back to a previous page or sometimes opens the page while continuing the display "Firefox does not allow". (The website is for my local county library catalog system.)

Réiteach roghnaithe

See:

  • Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

The 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.
