Constant message pop up when trying to back up a page with back arrow - "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Pop up message comes up when trying to use back arrow.

You can't suppress that alert.
You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form. The only way that Firefox can make sure to get the same page is by resending that POST form. Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.
The only way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click. Then you can close that tab or window to go back.

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How do i get rid of this? it keeps pop n up and screw n up my stuff... if there is not a fix I will be dropping fox and going back to internet explorer.. this is not worth the headache!

Are you getting that anytime you visit a page? Or after you hit the 'refresh', 'back' or 'forward' button?
This error is not usually an error telling you that anything is broken, it's warning you that you are re-doing something you have already done. The page that you are trying to re-access, or refresh was a page that was doing something. Maybe you told the page to search for something, or you were filling out a form, or perhaps doing something like adding something to a shopping cart. Firefox warns you in case it's something you really don't want to do again; for example, accidentally buying a second toaster, or re-sending a comment form.
If you only were searching or navigating around a page, it's generally ok to press the 'Resend' button.
This safety feature is not unique to firefox, I can't offhand think of a browser that doesn't have it (though the wording may vary).
However, if you are getting it constantly, every page you visit, on every website, all the time, then it's a bug.

I play KOC on fb and everytime I refresh I get this: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. What can I do to fix this?

When playing my fb game KoC I need to refresh a lot and every time I do I get this message: To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. How can I disable this message?

Just give us a means of opting out if we don't care about POST data; or opting out for certain web sites. We have an application that I use hundreds of times a day at work and as a result, I get that message hundreds of times. Opening new tabs doesn't help because I'd have to open numerous tabs, and then it takes time to figure out which tab is the "back" tab.

Please tell me how I can stop this from happening?"To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

Please can you tell me how to stop this message from appearing on my computer, it happens a lot and it is frustrating.

Does that happen when you use the Back button? If so, don't use the Back button, right-click or click-hold that Back button and use the Back / Forward history menu that appears to load the previous page from that menu. That should avoid the appearance of that security warning message, which can't be turned off. If that is happening on web pages that don't involve financial transactions, that website really should be fixed so that security message doesn't appear.

How do I stop this pop up ----To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

It happens every time I reload a facebook app any app really and its really pissing me off the constant problems.

You Can't? PPFT! I was just gone on vacation ( Aug 12 2011), got back and now I'm getting this, "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier" I was in a forum that I always go to (not at a merchandise website) and have NEVER had this message there or any where! I'm not about to load a bunch of tabs just so I can look back and forth. It seems Fire Fox has updated behind my back and now it's all messed up. I don't thing people would be complaining about it if it wasn't something unusual that just happened.

You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form. 
Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form. 
Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.

That is not possible.
Do you use the Back button to go to a previous page?
You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page or refresh a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a (hidden) POST form.

WHile playing a game why am i getting this.....To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. [Resend][Cancel]......and what can i do to get it to quit?

I am playing a facebook game called Kingdom of Camelot. This come up when I refresh the game. To my knowledge no information is sent. I need it to stop interfering with my page when i refresh . I have deleted/uninstalled my extensions and plug ins and i am still getting the message.

Perhaps someone should report this to MarketWatch. There are ways for web developers to work around this issue (GET after POST, for example).

In past discussions about this message, I have never seen an easy solution. Arguably it should be made a user preference: those who prefer to be warned about the risk that they will double-submit a transaction or instruction on a poorly designed site can have their warning, and those who prefer to take their chances can take their chances. Not sure whether that is on anyone's "to do" list.
Separate issue: I wasn't aware of any difference between 3.6.12 and 3.6.13, but both are riddled with security vulnerabilities so it's hard to recommend using either of them at this point.

Every time my browser refreshes I get the pop-up To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier. Resend Cancel" How do I get rid it?

It has never done this before. I play a game that constantly refreshes the page & have never had problems before until yesterday. I have looked in tools and there's nothing in the option section that will let me stop it. Is there somewhere else to look?

How do I get rid of this nagging message??? --- "To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier." hit enter

Almost every time I hit the back button I get this message and I have to tell it ok

Sorry, that message can't be disabled. Try selecting the previous page from the Unified button drop-down history menu, that will avoid that message and the resending of data. Or open links in a new Tab and close that Tab when you are done with the linked page on web sites that you know will give you that message.

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? To start in Safe Mode, go to '''Firefox > Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled'''.
If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
