Very annoying Allow box keeps dropping down on just about every site I go to. I then click on it & it constantly keeps dropping back down. I can click on it a dozen times & it just re appears. Ready to dump Firefox, Even if I go to options & unclick the pop ups, it doesn't change anything.

It appears you accidentally turned on an accessibility feature designed to avoid confusion for users with screen reader software. You can switch it off here:

"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab

In the top section, uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

Does that fix it?

You shouldn't see this warning on every web page even with this accessibility setting enabled.

You can check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
