firefox browser won't allow address redirect
I own a domain (mattbabcock.com) that is set to automatically redirect to a different site (https://mbabcock.carbonmade.com/). The redirect works on other browsers, but it always times out when using firefox. How can I fix this? I contacted the host of my domain (godaddy) and they said the problem isn't on their end. Since the redirect works on other browsers I'm inclined to believe them this time.

In Firefox 56+ the "Warn me when website try to redirect or reload the page" setting can no longer be found in Options/Preferences.
You can modify the about:config page to enable or disable this feature.
accessibility.blockautorefresh
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can click the button to "Accept the Risk and Continue".

Hi Fred, Thanks. Unfortunately that didn't help. I searched the about:config page for accessibility.blockautorefresh and set both items that came up to "false." The problem still persists.
I have several versions of Firefox and had no problem.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

This is a case where the redirect only seems to be working with HTTP and not with HTTPS, so if https:// is forced like when HTTPS-Only is enabled then https://mattbabcock.com/ won't work. Firefox might complain a secure HTTPS is not available and offer to disable HTTPS and then get redirected
