When I try to sign in to Yahoo or Flickr I get a message saying: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading" with an allow button - when I press the allow button I just get the same message again. Anyone having the same problem?

I have tried clearing the cache, allowing pop-ups from Flickr and Yahoo and all pop-ups but Firefox will not allow the sign-in page to load. Is it a virus? It doesn't seem to affect any other website, including hotmail. I have tried other browsers and they don't want to load Yahoo and Flickr either. Any suggestions gratefully received. I'm using Windows with Firefox 4 on a Toshiba laptop.

  • I keep getting a message saying, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". This unwanted feature makes it hard to seamlessly flow thru a website. How do I delete this annoying feature?

    This feature prevents me from flowing smoothly thru the steps in a web site.

    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.

    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?
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/accessibility.blockautorefresh
    If you have problems with preferences, see:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
    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.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • 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 to remove "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading" message bar at top. It appeared at the same time I lost local news on my homepage. Neither Tools or Preferences seem to have a solution. Any suggestions?

    Firefox 3.6.15, Mac OS X
    There's no "options" setting in Tools.

    Do you know if that then allows the page to automatically reload or does that just get rid of the message? Thanks!

  • When opening a page a bar always comes up and says "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. How can I stop it, it is very annoying

    Cannot add much more to the question. The bar appears below the toolbars and above the open page, at the right of the bar it has a button which says Allow? Would hope there is an answer to the question Regards Vivien

    -> click '''Firefox''' button and click '''Options''' -> Advanced panel -> General tab -> Remove Checkmark from '''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page''' -> click OK
    Check and tell if its working.

  • I get a message bar saying "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." How can I find out what page it was trying to redirect to so I know whether I want to "allow" it or not?

    I've used Firefox for a long time, but recently this message started appearing every time I open Firefox.

  • Why does my Firefox always put a line at the top that says, "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page."?

    This comes up nearly every time I click on a link to open another page... but the page does open; it's just that this line adds another unnecessary line at the top of my already shrinking window.
    Can I keep this from happening? I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing has stopped it from occurring.
    Thanks for your help.

  • How to I turn off the feature that results in "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically reloading"?

    When I click on the icons for sites I use regularly I get an annoying message and have to click x's and "allow"s several times to get it to go away. The message is a smug "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically reloading." Who asked it to suddenly start doing that? Why?

    Firefox has a lot of usefull setting, for my opinion
    Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Accessibility -> "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
    '''IS NOT''' one of them.
    The Idea shure was great, just the implementation is not usuable for many people as seen by the number of people that post about it... and the ones that are annoyed but don't post.
    There are 2 main Problems here:
    1) redirect and reload, even so they are similar in what they do, really need two seperate options. While most people will like a web application, monitoring or news site to refresh their information by reloading most people do not like to be redirected from "soundslikeadeal.com" to "drivebydownloadsandhacks.net". Allowing to reload and blocking the redirect would make a lot of sense for many users...
    2) Like the option to display or not display pictures for a website, this option should be able to set on a per site setting and the Dialog "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading" should not just offer the option to "Allow" for one single reload (as it does now!) but to "whitelist" as in "remember this decission" or "Always Allow reload/redirect for this Site". This would be a real Security improvement because it would allow us to by default disallow the redirection even if we need it enabled for some website that we need for our daily work!

  • 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.

  • 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
