Firefox prevented a site from asking me to install software on my android tablet

I try to install a toolbar and Firefox prevents the installtion

You're welcome. I think there's a button next to my suggestion that says something like "This was helpful." If your problem is solved, would you please click that button so it will be marked as Solved.

I'm trying to download LastPass. The LP site is giving me the message: "Firefox prevented this site (LastPass) from asking you to install software on your computer." Where do I go in Firefox to allow this.

I've never experienced a problem downloading software before.

There should be an Allow button on that bar that appears at the top.

Tried to download Font General for Facebook and Firefox prevented the site from asking me to download. Is it a "bad" program?

I was searching for emoticons on Facebook....and a link came up for Font General ...to use different type fonts on Facebook. I clicked on the download for FireFox and a small box popped up saying "FireFox has prevented this site (www.fontgeneral.com) from asking you to install software on your computer. There was a button that I could click to ALLOW....but I wanted to know if there was a possibility of the program being known to be unsafe.

Firefox only comes with two sites pre-approved to install add-ons, because add-ons have full privileges and you want to be pretty careful about which ones you install.
The warning you got was a general notice. As far as I know, Mozilla doesn't test or even try to keep track of add-ons that don't come from the official add-ons site.
Facebook and web search would be good resources for further research.

HOW DO YOU TURN OFF "FIREFOX PREVENTED THIS PAGE FROM AUTOMATICALLY RELOADING". I did the "see Advanced - General - Accessiblity. and still having problems

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....

You should still disable this setting:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > 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.
What is the value of the accessibility.blockautorefresh pref on the about:config page?
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
If you have problems with preferences, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading. How do I get trid of that? It asks me to allow every time it wants to refresh?

I constantly have the following in a bar at the top of the CNN page:
"Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading". Ii is accompanied by an "Allow" button. How do I get rid of that. I also have on every site randomly highlighted words in green that, when moused-over, has a little pop-up with a marketing ad.

"Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window" - Interface with Kerio Connect 7.0.0 -

I'm in a regional office. Corporate uses Kerio Connect 7.0.0 for email. Today 5/7/10 I started having problems whenever I open an email of ANY type, I can view it in viewing pane, but double clicking it gives me the message "Firefox prevented this site from opening a pop-up window." NOBODY ELSE in my company has had this problem (I have had it happen a few times in the past, but not ALL emails like today!). I am on my own in a regional office, so guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I have tried this and it is not working. The only thing I can think of is that Firefox automatically upgraded to the 3.5 version I believe sometime last week, which is when I truly began to see the problem.
No wonder I have avoided upgrading! It seems to me that Firefox STILL has not corrected this problem.
I have seen multiple people as late as last week complaining @ same issue and they are reverting back to FF 3.0.
Sound like this is my only solution.
If anyone has any other ideas, please let me know.

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

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

Error message on d-top and laptop--Firefox prevented this page from automatically loading--what do I need to do to fix/stop this from happening?

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.

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!
== URL of affected sites ==
https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=cl&passive=1209600&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fcalendar%2Frender%3Ftab%3Dmc%26pli%3D1&followup=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fcalendar

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.

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?

Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading

As of June 25 2013 In Firefox version 22.0 the ALLOW button fails to work when presented the message "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading". The WORKAROUND is to UNCHECK "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page". The ALLOW button should be corrected, however.
