Prevent auto-loading of webpage
Need something to prevent the auto loading of “my mobile broadband”, a connection/settings URL that loads whenever I plug in the mobile broadband dongle - not a huge problem, but it becomes a huge annoyance when everything is redirected to this damn page. I don’t actually need this page popping up all the time because the broadband stick is programmed to auto-connect.
There’s no option to stop auto-loading, and customer service of my of my provider is so useless that I don’t want to be plunged into a Kafkaesque nightmare by giving them a call. Anyway, they’re hardly likely to allow me to prevent their nice URL from annoying me.

Go to Firefox > Options > Tabs > Don't load tabs until selected <= check this.
That's a little too easy... Tried it before.
maybe this can help, though i doubt anything else can be done about auto-loading the webpage.
Thanks for trying.
I've just used one of the block site addons - it blocks the site ok, but doesn't actually prevent it from accessing a new tab. Further experiment will see if blocking prevents redirection.
For blocking auto-redirects you can.
Use Firefox > Options > Advanced > General > Warn me when sites try to redirect me
