Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page
Everytime I logon to firefox, I get this message:- "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page".
I then go to "Tools/options/Advanced/General/Accessibility" and uncheck the box, why can't I uncheck once and not have to do it again?
It is annoying to have to repeat the uncheck option everytime.
There is software like Advanced SystemCare with its Surfing Protection feature that can protect files in the Firefox profile folder against changes.
If you have such software then check the settings or uninstall this software.

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!

Increase the time warn me when websites try to redirect or reload warnings are shown for

everytime I open ffox I have to go into Advance option and un-select the "warn me when sites try to redirect or reload pages" and re-select "make ffox my browser". I also tried selecting 'allow third party cookies' with "from visited' or Always but it changes back to Never when I close the options window, I can actually see it change a split second before.I have noticed these in the last couple of months and I dont think it was from anything I did cause I barely do any tinkering. What is going on? Any ideas?
Also, could you check the Windows Control Panel for a malware program named Search Protect or SearchProtect? You may need to do a general review and cleanup if that has crept in, since it usually indicates you got a big bundle of crap with some freebie.
I suggest:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Then, in Firefox, check for any other unrecognized or nonessential extensions and disable them. Open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
(3) If the above doesn't work, you can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case. -
When I try to upgrade iTunes, on the page
When I try to upgrade iTunes, on the page with the "Meant to be together iPod + iTunes," I press the button, and it just freezes and uses 100% of my CPU. Help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Dell Inspiron 2200 Windows XP Pentium MWere you getting that doing the update via Apple Software Update?
If so, try instead updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

When I try to post a comment the page greys out. Clicking again restores the page, but the comment is unposted. Repeated clicking "Post comment" just repeats the greying out and restoring. I'm using 14.0.1 on win7 (64).
Is this on one particular site? When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here (if you usually stay logged in to the site, this probably will log you out)
While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page.
If that doesn't help, perhaps something in Firefox 14 or one of your add-ons is not compatible with the site. Do you want to post the URL? -
After I updated to 3.6.8 I started noticing on a game I play at UniversalCriminal.com that randomly when I click on a link, firefox will load the appropriate page and as soon as it finishes loading that page it will refresh or reload the same page. It doesn't happen on any particular link it just happens randomly, and not all the time but most of the time. I tried reverting back to an earlier version of firefox but it still happened. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version but it still happens. It doesn't do it with IE or Chrome or Opera. What gives? Any ideas anyone?
I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.<br />
Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.<br />

network.http.max-connections-per-server 16<br />
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 16<br />

I go to 'Tools' click 'clear browsing history'. Nothing happens and when I try to shut down the page, the 'Programme not responding' box appears.

Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Would like option 'Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload a page'.
I switched to Firefox from IE on my Samsung Galaxy note 4 - I read that firefox could help with this problem. Facebook is automatically refreshing. Need it to stop. Thanks.
HI,
IE is not available on the Note 4, and this option is only available on the desktop version of Firefox.
I also could not find an addon that gives a warning of a refresh in the Android version of Firefox.
However there is one in Accessibility setting of Desktop under Options. -
I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 on my 3 yr old Macbook, though I am unsure if this is in fact connected. Now I am often unable to edit information I have typed into a search bar or text box (such as this one) even after reloading that page or pressing first the back, then the forward buttons. Has anyone else run into this, and does anyone know what is going on?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

this happens frequently, most recently just now when I tried to sign in to Apple for information on an update
See:
* 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.

downloaded Firefox onto friends' laptop last night. Found it necessary to place two websites in the (afore-mentioned) "Exceptions" category. shut down/re-booted three-four times over the next few hours before shutting down the laptop and going to bed. Booted up this am and, WHOA!-suddenly my menu/toolbars have new, undesired toolbars(?) search boxes(?): the search box, if I remember right, was labeled "My Web Search sponsored by iwon!" Whilst eliminating the intruders I became aware that by some unknown means I had fetched up on some webpage I've never heard of and had no reason to go to-( the very top of my display (above the menu and address bar) read: 'reason upgrade Search' (separated by a line symbol I can't reproduce here), then 'Musician's Friend' ....HUH? (feeling like Dorothy w/o a tornado transport). So I finish getting rid of the invaders and check out my History to try to figure out how I wound up at this website. my history indicates the last site I visited before going to bed, then 'aclk' (www.google/aclk? followed by a string of mixed symbols letters etc. Then 'redirect' (www.rkdms.com/redirect?c=....and a string of numbers and letters. Then the website"reason upgrade Search (?) Musician's Friend " then 'redirect.jhtml' (www.search.mywebsearch.com/mywe.........) Them 'Firefox Web Browser& Thunder....' still no clue how or why I wound up at that site..didn't go there, (not of my volition, anyways!!) so im checking my security settings and in Tools>options>Security>advanced> in the "Exceptions" category of "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons" is a website I've never heard of (getpersonas.com) and DID NOT enter!!!!!!!.Need to know how this could happen, how to prevent recurrence and how hard should I hit the panic button because right now I'm totally freaked!
== todayThese prefs get set to an empty String once the sites have been added to the whitelist if the pref is not empty if you open the exception window.
Tools > Options > Security : "Warn me when sites try to install add-ons": Exceptions
You can reset these prefs on the about:config page.
xpinstall.whitelist.add - addons.mozilla.org
xpinstall.whitelist.add.36 - getpersonas.com
To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. -
