How do I get Firefox/mozilla to stop "not allowing a page to change" I don't want to keep having to hit allow each time Thanks john

On going to a new item on say news page a bar opens like in windows and reads Firefox has prevented this page from opening. then farther along the bar there is an allow button. I don't want to have to click each time. Thanks. john

See:
*Firefox/Tools > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > 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.

  • How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    Question
    How do you get firefox 4 to save tabs and windows and restore them? Don't say set preferences to open them on startup or use restore previous session under history; those do not work. Or is it no longer possible to save windows and tabs?

    '''IT'S A EASY AS IT SHOULD BE.'''
    This is essentially paulbruster's answer, but I've added the steps some might assume, but which aren't so obvious to those of us who are new at this, like me.
    This solution might ''appear'' to be long and complicated, but after you follow the directions once, you'll find it's quick, clean, and simple. Almost like they designed it this way.
    # If you haven't already, open a bunch of tabs on a few different subjects.
    # Click the List All Tabs button on the right side of the tab strip.
    # Select Tab Groups.
    # Create a few groups as described [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-are-tab-groups#w_how-do-i-create-a-tab-group here] , i.e. just drag them out of the main thumbnail group into the new groups they create.
    # Now click on any thumbnail in any new group, but not the original big default group you may have left some tabs in.
    #A regular Firefox window will open, but'' only the tabs in that group will be visible.'' You also now have the Tab Groups button in the tab strip.
    # Right click on any tab, and there it is: Bookmark All Tabs. Click on it in the list of options. Or you can hit Ctrl+Shift+D instead and go straight to the dialogue box from the tab without any clicks. But don't go looking for this familiar option anywhere else, 'cause it's not there.
    # Now pick an existing folder or create a new one just like you would have before and '''shlpam!''' there they are. New folders are supposed to end up in the Unsorted category all the way at the very bottom, but for some reason mine show up at the bottom of my last sorted category.
    # DO NOT CLICK THE UPPER-RIGHTMOST X to close this group of tabs. This will close ALL of your tabs in all groups, currently visible or not. At least it asks if you're sure first. Instead, click your new Tab Groups button to return to the Boxes 'O Thumbnails window, and click the X in the group box you just bookmarked.
    # Click on another thumbnail to repeat the process with another group, or click on a thumbnail in the big default box to return to the original FF window. You can also click the Tab Groups button at the upper right, or Ctrl+Shift+E, which will also get you ''into'' the Boxes 'O Nails window ''from'' FF.
    # So now when you reopen FF after shutdown, simply select your folder from your Bookmarks and Open All in Tabs. '''Just like paulbruster said. '''

  • TS4009 How do I get my money back from an iCluod storage plan upgrade that I don't want?

    How do I get my money back from an iCluod storage plan upgrade that I don't want?

    You can cancel an iCloud storage upgrade within 15 days of buying:
    Apple have made this as difficult as possible. However two posters have managed to achieve this. Elizellen was able to use Express Lane to get a refund:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19323996#19323996
    However if you use Express Lane may find you cannot proceed without entering a hardware serial number which is still eligible for AppleCare.  julia22 managed to find a way round that by phoning them - please see this post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
    it gives the USA number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
    If it is more than 15 days since you purchased the storage you cannot cancel it for a refund; you can downgrade your plan as from your next renewal date. Please see
    http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmd602084a
    and expand 'Downgrade your storage for the next plan year'.

  • How can I get firefox 4 to stop prompting for handling of a file type? I have already set "always automatically do this" and checked application preferences. Any other things to try?

    I am using FF4 to download some .nzb files. I just want it to open the appropriate application when I click to download the .nzb file. Instead, I get prompted each time. this wasn't a problem on beta FF4. I also verified my application settings. Also, not a problem in Chrome or IE . . .

    I finally found a solution to this problem. Simply install the InlineDisposition extension:
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/
    Sites like Binsearch will now load nzb files into Newsbin (or any other usenet reader) automatically without the user getting the "What should Firefox do with this file?" prompt every time after you've already checked "Do this automatically for files like this from now on"

  • How do I get Firefox 4 to show the last several pages visited instead of only going back one page at a time? It used to show last 10 or so pages with a down arrow. The down arrow is gone.

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/816789]</blockquote><br>
    In Firefox 3.6 the back arrow button to go back a page also had a down arrow button that would let you jump back multiple pages. How can I get that to show in Firefox 4?

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • How can I get firefox to remember my most used websites when I change tabs?

    Have downloaded a new firefox and whilst the history is remembered I can't get my most used websites to comeup and when I move away from home page I get trovi which I have never used and don't want to use - just want things as they were

    Hi, I'm afraid Trovi is a browser hijacker, which will mess around with Firefox. Please work through [http://malwaretips.com/blogs/trovi-com-removal/ this article] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware this article.] Hopefully one or more of the malware removers will fix it.

  • I am using 3.6. How can I get the update to look just like this version? I truly don't want to use IE or MSN but if that is all I have, then let me know. Thanks

    I am using 3.6 because I like how it spreads out my toolbars instead of just giving me the bookmarks in the corner and the lonesome firefox in the opposite corner. I know I can open the bookmark toolbar but it is not the same. I want the file, edit, view, history, bookmarks, tools, help toolbar across. How can I get the new firefox to do that

    This should duplicate the image that you posted as your preferred appearance for Firefox 5 in the above (request to be LOCKED) duplicate thread.

  • How do I get music out of "icloud" and turn it off? Didn't/don't want it.

    How do I get my music out of icloud and turn it off? Didn't/don't want my music in the clouds, I want it in my ipod where I can listen to it.
    Thank you.

    You can go into your settings and turn icloud off. It will remove what is there. Your music is on your ipod and you should be able to listen to it. icloud stores the music to share/update your other devices - ipad, iphone etc. so you only need to make a chage on one device. The cloud changes it in all other devices.

  • How do I get Firefox/Mozilla to work with Constant Contact?

    Constant Contact freezes up every time I use Mozilla/Firefox to access the website and, particularly, when I access my contact file. I know I can't be alone in needing that marketing tool and can't imagine why it doesn't work with our favorite, Mozilla. I contacted them and was told it works best with Google but I can try Internet Explorer. I want to be able to use Mozilla...to you have any suggestions?
    Thank you

    Constant Contact has a knowledge base and I saw that they recommended that these preferences be set up in Firefox:

  • How do I get OT fonts to stop distorting on Web pages (in Internet Explorer)?

    I created a great-looking newsletter in Adobe InDesign CS4 (I work for a very large organization and am still waiting for newer software, sorry). It used Adobe OpenType fonts including Myriad Pro, Myriad Pro Black, and Adobe Caslon Pro. I selected "Optimize for web use" when exporting it.  Our Web team then placed the PDF on our web page, using FTP.  When people viewed the PDF in Internet Explorer 9, (again, my organization is slow to change) the fonts either were distorted or did not even look like text.  The same PDF looked fine in Google Chrome and IE 11. In addition to being held at ID CS4 and IE9, we are also at Acrobat Profession version 10.
    I did three things to prevent this issue:
    I reloaded the old PostScript versions of Myriad (from PageMaker) and Adobe Caslon into the Fonts subfolder of my InDesign application folder, to deal with the body text.
    In InDesign, I clicked Edit, selected Transparency Flattener Presets, and created a new preset with the Convert All Text to Outlines box checked (see illustration below),
    I created a new PDF Export preset, which compresses images down to 72, 72 and 150 DPI respectively but did NOT check the "Optimize for Fast Web View" box.  I also did NOT check"compress text and line art" in the dialogue box. I temporarily set Compatibility down to Acrobat 4, and then selected the new "textoutline" transparency flattener preset that I made in Step 2. I then reset Compatibility to Acrobat 8 and saved the preset (the transp0arency flattener is now selected but grayed out).
    This stopped the distortion. (We continued to use Myriad Pro Black as a headline font). However, PostScript fonts are 20th Century. How can I use Adobe OpenType fonts in the future instead of PostScript fonts?

    Still trying to solve the problem. It may be one of my Acrobat job options. Any ideas on how to get Adobe OpenType fonts NOT to pixilate in PDFs created in InDesign CS4 viewed on the Internet in older versions of Internet Explorer?
