Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading to another page

I have Mac OS X 10.4 and Firefox 3.6.28. I keep getting this message when going to different sites. Most times the message disappears so quickly I do not have time to even click on the "allow" button. Sometimes I do click it, but still cannot get to the page! I read some other questions and answers re going to preferences, advanced, general, and clicking the third box under accessibility, regarding "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page". If I "uncheck" the box, the only thing that happens is I don't see the message any more. But it still will not load the page! Can anyone help?? Thank you!!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*Firefox/Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

  • Intermittent "Firefox prevented this site from automatically reloading"

    My copy of Firefox 3.6.3 started about a week ago giving me automatic reloading error messages. I have checked all of the settings and there should be nothing in the settings causing this. It also does not happen on all sites or even the same site all of the time. Sometimes Firefox will give the error message and then reload the site anyway with clicking on allow.

    Hi, It's the noscript .81 update that has that added new protection. It also will prompt if site is trying to redirect.
    Here's the link to changes in 1.9.9.81:

  • I'm getting this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." but unchecking the box for "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" has not helped. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. M'aidez

    Can't load Google Calendar. I'm getting this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" but unchecking the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page" has not helped. I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. It's not reported as a generalised problem in Dashboard. Google Calendar opens and works fine on my 12" PowerBook G4, but this is a recent problem on my G5 13" MacBook Pro. Mayday!

    No I'm not using NoScript, but I'm pleased to report that the problem got resolved by deleting the original bookmark, logging in again, opening Google calendar, then bookmarking it again.

  • When visiting certain sites, if I click on a featured link, I get the message: "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically directing to another page", How do I disable this so I am able to get to the page I want?

    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!

  • AFter the latest download, my e-mail service keeps getting a bar at the top "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". I have to keep hitting the "Allow" link? How do I get rid of this?

    Ever since the last update, I'm having problem accessing my e-mail account. I keep getting an annoying bar at the top of the screen "Firebox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." I have to keep hitting the allow button, sometimes twice. And when I do get into the accounts the bar jumps in and out every time I open a new e-mail, or delete and old one.
    How do I get rid of this. I've had this account for years, with a very reputable private e-mail provider. This is nuts.

  • How do I turn off the "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" dialogue ?

    I am a mac user. I tried to access my bank account, but firefox 3.6.8 prevents me by telling me: "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". This is NOT a dialogue which I can click a button. Instead, nothing happens when I type my bank's URL while a small message appears below the URL field bar. I do not have the OPTIONS under the Tools menu (like on Windows version) and my preferences does not give me any option to turn this thing off. Can any one HELP me as I cannot have access to my bank website?

  • How do I make Foxfire quit giving me the message Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page?

    When I am on some sites Firefox gives me the message Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page? and then I have to click Allow. This happens on every single page on certain sites. How can I make this stop all together?

  • When loading a new site using Firefox, why do I get a message that tells me that "firefox prevented this page from automatically directing to another page. Allow?"

    When loading a page using Firefox, at the top of the page, I get a mesage telling me "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page - Allow?" This happens almost every time I begin a new page and Firefox will not allow the page to continue uploading. I have to tell it to allow every time, even on pages I've 'allowed' in the past.

    The Redirection option is an Accessibility feature for people with Disabilities so that they will know when a page is going to be reloaded. It is not a Security feature.
    IF you still want it, click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced -> General -> place Checkmark on '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''
    -> Click OK on Options window -> Restart Firefox

  • I am constantly being shown this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." Why does this happen?

    I am constantly being shown this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." The result is that I am often looking at a blank screen with an option to click on "Allow." But sometimes the message comes up and I am on the page I want to be on anyway. I don't understand this and don't know how to change this setting, if indeed I have set up Firefox this way. Help?

    That message is a result of your settings
    *''Firefox button/File > Options > Advanced > General >'' un-check "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" to no longer see that message

  • Tab closes with no error msg when I click on "Allow". Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. I had to uncheck the Advance/General/Accessibility option for it to work. Why?

    Msg: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. When I click on "Allow", The 2nd tab closes with no error msg This was Home Depot redirecting to CitiGroup.
    When I unchecked the Advance/General/Accessibility option to be notified of a "redirect" then things worked.
    Why did clicking on "Allow" not work?
    I posted step by step detail in the Trouble Shooting box below.

    Thank you for your answer. It does stop the redirection notices, but now I have no idea if potentially unsafe sites are redirecting me. I cannot figure out why it has only recently started to happen on my home page though, when nothing has changed on there and I've had it set to show redirections, ever since I set up Firefox.
    I guess I'll just have to make the decision as to whether I want to risk redirections or put up with the semi permanent notice.
    Thanks again mha007

  • I get a message Fire Fox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page, everytime I log into a bank or credit card web site?

    When I log into my bank or credit cards websites I get a message that says "Fire Fox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." It says "Allow" or an X. Sometimes I can click Allow and it goes but then other times if I click Allow on it kicks me out. If I click "X" it goes but I have to click X every page. How can i stop this?

  • How do I disable the "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" function?

    Sometimes when I want to load a page of a different website from the one I'm currently surfing the above question appears.
    I want it disabled.
    Thanks

    You may want to disable this option.
    * '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''': When this preference is enabled, Firefox will prevent websites from redirecting you to another page, or automatically reloading.

  • As a novice emailer, I keep getting "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" and I have to close and start over again EVERY TIME.

    I don't use this computer's new gmail very often. Therefore, I had some 150 emails that I was trying to go thru & delete if possible. Many emails gave another site to go to complete my understanding of this email. But "Firefox prevented...." statement appears on the top w/ only a blank screen. I try to go back a page...nothing happens. I have to close all the tabs and get out of it completely. Then I have to click on Firefox icon...go to gmail...select the same email if there was more to read on it or just skip to the next new email. Very frustrating to a computer-illiterate. I don't understand any of the computer lingo (jave...etc); it took me 1 hour to figure out how to get to this space to type in this question. I have already failed 3 times in asking/typing in the question box. PLEASE try not to give me technical phrases.....left, right, top, works best for me.... mahalo, cecile

    I don't know if this is still a problem but to stop it go to Firefox>Options>Options>Advanced>General Then third line down there is a box to remove the warnings. (These instructions are for Firefox4; I don't know how to access this from other versions.)
    I'm also not sure whether this just removes the service of stopping redirection or whether it just removes the warning so beware.
