How Wrong Is This Answer To 'Blocked Redirect'?

I don't like the message that Firefox has prevented redirection and sought a way to switch it off.
These forums provided a (supposedly) definitive answer.
But Just how wrong is it:
Here's where it is at:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/890333
and there it says:
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.
Quote: "...not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting..."
But it provides a link to:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=Options+window+-+Advanced+panel#General_tab
Which clearly says:
Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page: When this option is enabled, Firefox will prevent websites from redirecting you to another page, or automatically reloading.
Quote: "....will prevent websites from redirecting..."
Seems contradictory to me. I am going to switch it off (uncheck the box) and see what happens. Because it seems to me that I only get smooth net operation when I (repeatedly, annoyingly) 'allow' these redirects.
If I'm right and that Q & A are misleading I think they should be removed - you'll note the question is locked at the moment and can't be amended but just sits there with its erroneous message (according to me ).

Doh! I'm blind!
I must have looked at that a thousand times, just never READ it. (-_~)
Thanks!
As far as features go, whitelists seems like a no-brainer. To me anyway.

  • L_TO_CONFIRM - differences posted to 99 - how to set this stock as blocked?

    I am using fuction module L_TO_CONFIRM for some RF processing and I have been asked that where the differences are posted to 999, can this stock also be blocked so as to remove it from the view of MRP.
    I cannot see how I can do this with this function module as there is no flag to set it to blocked.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Regards
    Larissa Maryniuk

    Larissa,
    A useful note on top of Jurgen's.
    Potentially you can cause havoc using LI21 (Clear Differences in IM) as it will allow you to enter any Storage Type.  There is a table where you can exclude Storage Types from being used with LI21.  It makes sense to set this for all Storage Types (except 999 !).
    IMG \ LE \ WM \ Activities \ Physical Inventory \ Clear Differences (Interface to IM)
    2nd option.
    Regards,
    Nick

  • What is wrong with this PL/SQL block

    declare
    v_count integer := 0;
    begin
    -- execute immediate 'select count(1) into v_count from ' || 'abc' || '.table1';
    execute immediate 'select count(1) into v_count from abc.table1';
    dbms_output.put_line('v_count: ' || v_count);
    end;
    When i execute the above pl/sql block, I get the following error:
    ORA-00905: missing keyword
    ORA-06512: at line 6
    What am I doing wrong?
    When I use SELECT COUNT(1) INTO v_count FROM abc.table1; ( instead of the dynamic sql ), it works.
    I realize I don't need to use execute immediate for SELECT, but I need to do the dynamic SQL because the table1 will be under multiple schemas.
    Would appreciate an explanation for the above error, and/or alternate solution(s) for dynamic sql.
    Thanks

  • How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own? Bought iPhone second hand. Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his macID on his new iPhone now?? Any ideas, as this issue is blocking my access to iTune

    How do I replace someone else's Mac ID with my own?
    Bought iPhone second hand on TradeMe.
    Previous owner re-set the phone but his ICloud account stayed on now my phone. He uses his AppleID on his new iPhone now and, understandably, does not want to give me his password. Any ideas?? Please.
    This issue is blocking my access to iTunes and any other file from my home computer. It keeps on telling me that I have to autorise my computer to pass on files, yet, it seems, for all this to happen, I need to get logged in through the phone's Apple ID. This of course is different to my one on my computer - and I have no password for it.
    This phone is not stolen!! I payed still a fair bit for it. Am still in contact with the previous owner. He doesn't know how to fix the problem either.
    Would appreciate any suggestion ????
    Thanks

    That will put it back to its out of the box state. Set it up with your own apple Id.

  • I locked myself out of my ipod touch for 60 mins then actually typed the wrong password in again.  Now it is telling me to "connect to itunes".  I am unsure how to do this.  I am unable to use my ipod at all now. Please help.

    Hi,
    Due to my brother locking me out of my ipod touch I had to wait an hour to log in again.  Unfortunately when I did this, I, again put in the wrong password twice more, each time locking me out for a further 60 minutes.  On my 3rd attempt to log in the wrong password was entered again.  This time though instead of logging me out for another 60mins it now tells me to "connect to itunes" but I have no idea how to do this and I am now unable to use my ipod.  Please help.

  • 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.

    Yeah, this seems to be something to do with Google, not your iPhone. A search on that error found this page:
    http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web%20Search/thread?tid=56a3c4b71b3dc1d9&h l=en
    which shows people using lots of browsers on different platforms suffering from it. No definitive solutions though.
