Firefox is preventing an installation from .gov.
I am trying to install software from a government website to view a training webinar. Firefox says it won't install because the software appears to be corrupt.
I received this message -
'''is not available for your computer's operating system. For information about system requirements, please refer to the FAQ support'''
What is the original download page?

When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?
Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards. -
When I click on the icons for sites I use regularly I get an annoying message and have to click x's and "allow"s several times to get it to go away. The message is a smug "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically reloading." Who asked it to suddenly start doing that? Why?
Firefox has a lot of usefull setting, for my opinion
Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Accessibility -> "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
'''IS NOT''' one of them.
The Idea shure was great, just the implementation is not usuable for many people as seen by the number of people that post about it... and the ones that are annoyed but don't post.
There are 2 main Problems here:
1) redirect and reload, even so they are similar in what they do, really need two seperate options. While most people will like a web application, monitoring or news site to refresh their information by reloading most people do not like to be redirected from "soundslikeadeal.com" to "drivebydownloadsandhacks.net". Allowing to reload and blocking the redirect would make a lot of sense for many users...
2) Like the option to display or not display pictures for a website, this option should be able to set on a per site setting and the Dialog "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading" should not just offer the option to "Allow" for one single reload (as it does now!) but to "whitelist" as in "remember this decission" or "Always Allow reload/redirect for this Site". This would be a real Security improvement because it would allow us to by default disallow the redirection even if we need it enabled for some website that we need for our daily work! -

In this particular case, I was on a page that offered group discounts ("deals") that can be purchased for a limited time. To make the purchase, I needed to click onto the link with the name of the deal being offered. However, upon clicking on that link, I received the message from Firefox that it was preventing the page from automatically directing to another page i.e. the page that would have allowed me to make my purchase. Please answer quickly since the deal I want to purchase expires in three hours!

Firefox is preventing photographs and pictures from being displayed because it considers them to be pop-ups. I have turned off the pop-ups blocker on my security system but this did not help. There is a difference between annoying commercial or informational pop-ups and photographs and pictures that appear automatically from many web sites. How can I overrule this unwanted pop-up blocking effect?
It is possible that you run into this maximum (the default value is 20):

To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -
Firefox is preventing some files from downloading off the internet
Today I had to go to the Dell website to update some drivers for my laptop. Every time I downloaded the driver file from the site to the download manager and then clicked on it to run, I would get a message that there was no file to download. The tech from Dell then had me download Google Chrome and the downloads went smoothly without a hitch. Something in Firefox is preventing the Dell files from downloading. I need instruction on how to correct this problem. I am also wondering why when I go to download files using firefox I do not get an option to run the file instead of save it. II only get the option to save it and then have to click on it from the download manager to run it. I would like to change this as well if possible
Thanks,

When using my Cox e-mail shortcut to go to the sign in page why does Firefox prevent the current page from redirecting to the Cox web mail sign in page?

Firefox keeps preventing Adobe Flash from playing videos?
I recently downloaded the most recent version of Adobe Flash Player 15 plug in, and now every single time a reload a page (it can be eBay, Facebook, Yahoo Mail, etc.) I get an error message the top of the screen saying that Firefox has blocked it. I am given the option to allow the item to run, and either it be just that time or for the system to remember it. I have chosen to have the system to remember the action, but then when I reload the page it does it all over again. What can I do to get this to stop as it is very annoying and a pain to have to re-click it ever single time.
Note: I was just promoted to install Adobe Flash Player 16, which I did. I am not sure yet if it will fix the problem or not.The only current versions of Flash for Windows and Mac OSX right now are 16.0.0.235, 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR and 15.0.0.24'''6''' though this version is not readily available for download like the other two.
So if its saying your Flash 15 version is vulnerable then you likely have the older 15.0.0.24'''2''' or more likely 15.0.0.2'''39''' as the 15.0.0.24'''2''' and 15.0.0.24'''6''' are not listed on [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html archived flash page] yet.
Flash 16.0.0.235 and also 13.0.0.25'''9''' ESR for Windows/Mac are at https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html

How to keep the installer from installing iTunes in Program Files?
I am running Windows 7 64-bit. Because the folder "Program Files" is a protected folder in Windows I want to install iTunes under a folder "C:\Apple\iTunes". If I download iTunes and manually install it I can tell it to put it there and it installs there fine. If it tries to install iTunes under "C:\Program Files" all sort of problems are created. Sometimes ownership of the folder is lost and that is a real pain to fix so I can delete the program. Once after I created this folder and install iTunes under C:\Apple I received notice that the installer had an update to iTunes. I told it to install it and it replaced the one in the C:\Apple folder like it was supposed to. Since that one time, months ago, every time the installer goes to install an update it wants to put it in C:\Program Files and the installation fails. Sometimes I can actually delete the folder that it has created sometimes the ownership is messed up and I have to start up in Safe Mode to delete it. (A real pain.)
So can I prevent the installer from putting the updates in the C:\Program Files folder and if so how? It finds the old version, under C:\Apple, but won't put the new installation there, so it fails every single time.
Any ideas?If you go to the standard download page it will detect the architecture of your PC and offer the correct installer. Up to iTunes 12.0 the "64 bit" versions of iTunes were actually 32-bit applications with a 64-bit installer - so will install in C:\Program Files (x86). As of iTunes 12.1 it is a "true" 64-bit application so installs in C:\Program Files.
You can avoid using the Apple Software Update by:
in iTunes, unchecking the Check for new software updates automatically box in Edit > Preferences > Advanced
in Apple Software Update, select the "Never" radio button in Edit > Preferences > Schedule
If you want to keep these active so that you're notified when there is a new version of iTunes available, just click Quit when the Updater opens and then install manually. There's no accessible option in the Updater to alter the target folder for automated installations. There's probably something in the Windows Registry that relates to this, but I'd be wary of changing this without substantial testing - there could be interaction/conflict with Windows settings regarding the correct location of 32- and 64-bit applications. -
Whenever I click a link in one web site, Firefox blocks the clicked site from opening.
In the new tab, I get a message from Firefox, much like the Pop-up blocker that says "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to click "Allow" to get the site to load. This has just started happening in the past couple of weeks, and to my knowledge, I have not changed any of my Firefox settings.
This always happens if I click a link in Gmail, even when I know I am going to a trusted site. It also happens if I click a link from one site to another, including trusted banking sites, Amazon.com, and the like.Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

More often than not, I get the message "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading". I click ALLOW and it comes back. I click the X and it goes away and allows the page to reload.
It occurs on my homepage (MSNBC) and a few -- but not all -- of my bookmarked pages.
At times, the message DOES NOT appear but I don't know what I've done to change anything to have it not appear. A couple of days later, the message is back upon loading my homepage.
This is especially annoying when trying to get into my banking website after attempting to log in...sometimes, it doesn't work and other times, after 3 or 4 refreshes, it loads.
Any suggested solutions will be appreciated.See:

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did perform the "see Advanced - General - Accessibility. It worked for me and my "user" site (don't know how to say my site) and still having problems with my wife's. I have gone to OPTIONS → GONE TO → ADVANCE and CLICKED THE LINE → ""Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page…""
This did not rememdy the problem. I did try to get on the other site suggested
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
but got a 404 error...
I have googled the "ff prevented...." and after a number of hours searching I still have not found a fix...
REALLY HOPE SOMEONE CAN HELP ME....
JMYou should still disable this setting:

What is the value of the <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
