Firefox 3.6.12 allows web sites to redirect or reload pages even tho "warn me" is checked.

this occurs randomly and, all too often, i'm either not quick enough to delete the redirected page or, believe it or not, it will not allow me to delete it without trying several times. is there a fix?

"Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" is an accessibility setting to avoid users getting confused and not meant as a protection against redirecting.
There are many ways that a server can redirect and it is also possible to load content in a frame. Reloading when done via JavaScript can only be stopped by blocking that JavaScript and if it is done via a meta tag then you would also need an extension.

  • I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

    I am having major problems with Firefox. About 3 weeks ago I started experiencing the display only when on Firefox for all web site, that the display would be shifted right about half a screen. It only happens on Firefox and happens for all web sites.

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Firefox opens and shows the web site but is shifted over to the left so only half is visible. IE8 is fine

    Firefox opens and loads the web site, but it has a blank 3 inch border down the whole of the right hand side, Firefox is moved over to the left so that i can only see half of it. The red cross to close it down is still at the very top right hand corner!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Earlier this week.

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: '''View > Zoom > Reset''' (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • Hi, problem occurs when I'm clicking a button or a new url on the current site. For instance, when i clicked that "Ask This" button on this web site, It redirects me to the default homepage. I cant go back and I'm losing the previous web site HELP PLEASE!

    Try the Firefox SafeMode. <br />
    ''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
    # You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    # Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
    If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

  • Firefox won't load any web site under my login, if I use another account it works fine, this problem start with 7.01 update. I have 8.0 now, other browser works fine with no problem.

    unable to load any web site, no error message, just a blank page.
    safari and chrome work fine, in fact I am using chrome to type this up. This problem only limited to my account, I have created other account and firefox work as it should with no problem. I am unsure with else to clear to get firefox working again.

    Update: This is NOT just related to "Yahoo" pages, while this problem first began with some of my Yahoo pages, it is now also happening with other NON Yahoo things I want to load up. Like Twitter, or Links in emails that load Blank, or even images within emails that show up Blank in the preview part of Yahoo mail. It is NOT a Yahoo issue as I have loaded up my Yahoo Mail in IE and Chrome, and everything loads wonderfully. I can even load up sites like Twitter, and other websites that will NOT load in Firefox, but they come up fine in other Browsers.
    I have done the ONLY suggestion that came from Firefox Tech support, to load up FF in Safe Mode, but the problems still exists. I have uninstalled FF and re-loaded it, but the same problem is there.
    Does anyone have any ideas here at all? I can't seem to get any Fire Fox help, so I am reaching out to the community here to see if anyone can help.... Thank you !!

  • Firefox is having problems loading web sites using Dish Networks as a network provider

    Loading of various web site is very sporadic. Some days worse than others.

    I had posted the problem previously & accidently marked the problem as solved.
    I received the following message since:
    "I am not sure how my previous post solved the problem but since then I think I have found the answer.
    I simply enabled Shockwave Flash 10.0.32.18
    From the Firefox Homepage it is located under:
    Tools\Add Ons then select the PlugIns Tab
    Select Shockwave Flash then enable it.
    Regards,
    Phil "
    This has fixed the problem. Thanks Phil.

  • Is there any way to make Firefox 4 display the web sites originally pinned in each tab upon restart of Firefox instead of the last web site viewed before ending Firefox?

    After pinning a particular web site in each tab that I want to use in Firefox 4, the tabs work as expected for the initial session. However, after ending and later restarting Firefox 4, each tab starts with whatever page was displayed upon the previous close of Firefox. Upon restarting, I would like for Firefox to display the original pinned web page. Any suggestions?

    You can set the prefs dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.* to false on the about:config page to disable the plugin-container process.
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npctrl.dll (Silverlight)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npqtplugin.dll (QuickTime)
    dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll (Flash)

  • Firefox locks computer visiting random web site

    I've read the various emails about the problem and none helped. My situation is as follows:
    Firefox locks computer when visiting a web site (random). This morning, it was:
    http://m.mlb.com/news/article/118394026/good-as-gold-rockies-nolan-arenado-makes-fantastic-catch
    I've revisited it a couple of times since with no problems. Only happens once, maybe twice per day. I've found I can unlock the computer doing the following (whether it's all necessary, don't know yet, still experimenting):
    do CTL-ALT-DEL a few times
    hit ESC a few time
    hit the comptuer off button (not holding down, just push and release)
    following steps sometimes gets the desired effect without going to the next one
    close the lid
    re-open
    tap off button
    Maybe it's lack of patience on my part, possible it's not all necessary. Eventually, the computer goes into hibernation and shuts down. Re-open it, enter BIOS and Windows passwords, and it's all back to normal.
    I have NO add-ons, 2 extensions:
    Avast Online Security 10.2.0.187
    LastPass 3.1.54
    Wouldn't swear to it, but problem seemed to start with last Firefox update, 37.0.1. I have Windows 7.

  • How can I specify UK web sites without having to reload firefox and typing in search criteria again. I can still do this on Internet Explorer

    How can I specify UK web sites only when searching in Google. I can still do this using the sidebar on Internet Explorer but not on Firefox

    This has been going on for months for me. Time to drop Firefox & go back to IE.

  • How can I get firefox to allow my bank to redirect to another page without me having to "allow" it?

    Fire fox has started to prevent my bank from "automatically redirecting to an other page" I have to hit the "allow" button, two times. I have check tools, security etc., and can't find where to change it back to doing it automatically or adding as an exception.

  • I have Windows XP SP2 and when I load firefox 4 beta 8 it just sits trying to load the page and I have to end up killing the process. What is the problem?

    When I start firefox 4 beta 8 I had it set to go to www.google.com. The pages comes up but then Firefox just have the green circle going endlessly and the web site never finishes loading. I restarted firefox 3.6 and it has no problems at all. I tired Chrome and Safari and have no problems using their browsers.

    It is not a Firefox problem. It is a BSNL Broadband problem. They are automatically redirecting all users to motive.bsnl.co.in whenever they restart their modem/router.

  • Editing a web site created in MS Front Page

    This may be a very simple question with a very simple answer:
    If a web site has been created, and was maintained, on a PC - how easy is it to take ownership and edit it using a Mac? (I am not a developer or anything close hence the possible stupidity of the question!)
    Thanks in advance!

    I'm a relatively new convert to a Mac and I have to say that this is the first time I have been disappointed by my choice.
    I have quite a few webs that I maintained with FrontPage and now I will have to drop them because I can't take the time to re-do each page within the sites just because I can't import the html coding into iWeb.
    It would be nice if the authors could make iWeb a bit more friendly in that regard. Even if only the basic layout, text, images and/or image holders could be imported, that would help.

  • Can iWeb make changes (update) to Web site made with Microsoft Front Page

    Hello,
    Our local historical society hired a web master to create a web site for us. He made it with Microsoft Front Page. I was able to make changes until my husband upgraded to Microsoft Office integral 2007. My question is: Would I be able to continue making changes or upgrades to this site but using iWeb '08 instead? I would much rather use my Mac than his IBM.
    Thanks,
    S Craig

    No. iWeb can only create and edit sites that have been created from scratch in iWeb. What you might be able to do is download the files in the current site and use the image and graphic files to make a duplicate site in iWeb.
