In gmail, clicking Contacts, "firefox prevented this page ...." Select "allow" takes me to gmail sign in, then won't sign in.

Use firefox, open gmail just fine. Try to open Contacts, but new tab opens with message "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". If I select "allow" the gmail sign in page pops up. If I click "Sign in" the sign in page just reloads. If I select a new tab in firefox, the gmail loads, but I still can't get my contacts.
Not sure if this matters, but I recently synced my new cell phone to firefox. My contacts show up on my phone but updates are easier to type on computer.

See:
*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.

  • 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.

    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 <b>accessibility.blockautorefresh</b> pref on the <b>about:config</b> page?

    If you have problems with preferences, see:

    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.

  • 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

    firefox prevented this page from auto redirecting to another page
    I get this message every time I go to new search page. I am so F-ING tired of pressing the key allow it's not funny. Can't Fire fox remember the dam pages I go to? Every freaking time I go to a new page that props up and I have to click allow. I would like to get rid of that for good so if you can help me that's cool if not then good bye. I go to explorer for browser. I can't take it anymore. Plus when I'm reading that page moves up again and I have to click allow again.

  • 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

  • Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading ... How can I fix this?

    I use firefox with my earthlink account. When the earthlink browser page loads .. and for that fact, when most pages load, a bar appears that says "Firefox Prevented this Page from Automatically Reloading." on the far right side of the bar is a Box " ALLOW" and the Red "X" Box.
    When I click Allow, for about 20 to 30 seconds the bar is gone, but then slowly comes back. When I click the Red X ... it leaves and does not come back until I do something using the right mouse button or the enter key!

I'm using Firefox 3.6.3 on Mac OS 10.6.3. It's not reported as a generalised problem in Dashboard.

  • 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.
