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.

Why when I unselect the 'warn when sites try to redirect or reload' it re-selects itself when I close & open again.w

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.

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.

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.

I would like to save only selective web sites in my cache, and everything else gets deleted when I close the browser

Lets say I have a website called xyz, I would like to keep the cache from this site and have everything else deleted when I close the browser.

The involved CSS code can be found in this file that you can open via the location bar.
* chrome://global/skin/autocomplete.css
Look for class .ac-emphasize-text and apply modified rules as you like.
You need to add the !important flag to override rules.
Add code to the <b>userChrome.css</b> file below the default @namespace line.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
<pre><nowiki>@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"); /* only needed once */
@namespace html url("http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml");
html|span.ac-emphasize-text {
box-shadow: none!important;
background-color: transparent !important;
border-radius: 0px;
text-shadow: none !important;
</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
* Create the chrome folder (lowercase) in the <xxxxxxxx>.default profile folder if this folder doesn't exist
* Use a plain text editor like Notepad to create a (new) userChrome.css file in this folder (the names are case sensitive)
* Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
* Make sure that you select "All files" and not "Text files" when you save the file via "Save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise Windows may add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with a not working userChrome.css.txt file

Firefox 12.0 Where do I now uncheck "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

I get this warning when using gmail. I cannot find where to turn it off. There s no Preferences on the menu. Options, General Tab does not have it. How do I turn off the warning.

Go to Options, select the Advanced panel, and inside the Advanced panel select the General tab.

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

I need more time to select allow on the warning bar that drops down when a site tries to redirect or reload the page.
I have some sites I want to allow and the warning disappears to fast for me to click on.

Warn me when a website tries to redirect me blocks

"Warn me websites try to redirect of reload the page" option when checked in firefox 23.0.1 doesn't warn when pages redirect it simply blocks the pages. this is rather frustrating as previously it did work properly and I would get a pop up warning in the yellow ribbon that would tell me it was trying to redirect and give me the option to allow or block.
However it no longer seems to do this as websites that used to work for me no longer do, and I have been informed by the devs of those sites that the problem is the "Warn me when websites try to redirect...." option as their sites work when the box is unchecked, but not when it is checked.
This is rather frustrating because the option was useful previously on unknown sites by warning me with the yellow ribbon and letting me choose whether or not to allow the redirect. It no longer does this. is this a bug or is there some setting I need to change to fix this problem? Any help is appreciated.

This is the main site I am recurringly having problems with whom the devs have told me that this option was the problem: http://u.eq2wire.com/
it happens whenever I do a form submission, in this case it a login or a search on the site. The same problem has happened on other sites as well but not ones I frequent.
I am not seeing a shield or anything. In this particular case I type in search criteria, hit enter and get sent to a blank white page. I have tried turning off the option and the page does work fine when it is turned off as the site devs said it would.
I had not realized this was a feature for persons with disabilities. If that is the case then I should be able to safely turn it off without issue.

When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs..

When closing Firefox windows, I would like a warning before the last window closes. The about:config settings do nothing. There is a warning for multiple tabs... why not for the last window? I do not use tabs... just windows... I have a mouse button programmed for that. It is really irritating to have to restart Firefox all the time and then open the history window because no warning was issued!

This is ridiculous. I've had this problems for years now and I'm finally walking away from Firefox. I use my keyboards more than my mouse, and how many times does your finger slip and hit Command Q instead of W. How come FF can't reset something as trivial as this? So many people are having problems with this?
Feels like FF has become too big, too slow and just not cooperative anymore. What a shame, I've been using Netscape/Firefox for 13 years. This is silly.

Is there anyway to print an ibook - was told I could add a link to the ibook that would send the customer to my web site where they could print it?

Not as such. You would have to put a pdf version on your web site for download, which the reader would then have to print for himself. A pdf version might look rather different than the epub or .ibooks version, you would have to try that yourself to see how much.

Tools,Options, "warn me when closing multiple tabs' is not working.

Windows 7; Firefox 5.0.1
Tools, Options, "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" is selected. Firefox closes unexpectedly without providing a warning.

Ahh, yes, I remember that warning as well. Apparently the check box has worked as I have forgotten about that additional warning. Anyhow, I agree - the wording does not distinguish well between the two scenarios. Supplying an option for both would be great.
Thanks for your reply.

Hello, I from Russia, would like to ask, why on your site iphone 4 there are $0? Thanks in advance!

Which Apple site? US? If so, it is because the iPhone will be subsidized by the cellular provider. It will involve a 2 year contract.

Would like option 'Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload a page'.
