When i get firefox prevented this page from reloading you hit the allow and it just continues to repeat never lets page reload

most of the time this is when I'm on facebook. Also when logged in to yahoo mail page loads but won't let you get your mail. Now when I use Chrome works fine.

See:
* Firefox/Tools > Options > 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.

  • As a novice emailer, I keep getting "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" and I have to close and start over again EVERY TIME.

    I don't use this computer's new gmail very often. Therefore, I had some 150 emails that I was trying to go thru & delete if possible. Many emails gave another site to go to complete my understanding of this email. But "Firefox prevented...." statement appears on the top w/ only a blank screen. I try to go back a page...nothing happens. I have to close all the tabs and get out of it completely. Then I have to click on Firefox icon...go to gmail...select the same email if there was more to read on it or just skip to the next new email. Very frustrating to a computer-illiterate. I don't understand any of the computer lingo (jave...etc); it took me 1 hour to figure out how to get to this space to type in this question. I have already failed 3 times in asking/typing in the question box. PLEASE try not to give me technical phrases.....left, right, top, works best for me.... mahalo, cecile

    I don't know if this is still a problem but to stop it go to Firefox>Options>Options>Advanced>General Then third line down there is a box to remove the warnings. (These instructions are for Firefox4; I don't know how to access this from other versions.)
    I'm also not sure whether this just removes the service of stopping redirection or whether it just removes the warning so beware.

  • Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on this computer? ....... i want to install the software!!!

  • 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!

    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.

  • 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 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.

  • How can I eliminate the toolbar that comes up every time I swith websights and says Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page and when nothing comes up I have to hit ALLOW and most of the time it screws me up

    I am running OS10 on a MAC and every time I go too another web site (most of the time) a new tool bar pops up that says " Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" and on the other end I must hit the button ALLOW because it is usually screwing me up and Iwant to disable it or use another browser

  • 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:

  • In V33.0 how do I disable "firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading"?

    When loading my home page I get the following message "firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading". Before I upgraded to V33.0 I was able to fix this issue. The answer was to uncheck the box "warn me when pages try to redirect" but I don't see this option in V33.0.

    This should be in the same spot:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab > ''uncheck the box for'' "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

    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.

    Try this: ''Firefox button > Options > Options (or Tools > Options) > Advanced > General, '''''un-check''''' "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"''

  • 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.
