how do I stop Firefox preventing my browsing certain sites the message that comes up is 'Firefox has prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page' how do I stop this
When I go onto some sites, for instance library.southampton.gov.uk when the site loads and I try to access the library catalogue, the message 'Firefox has prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page' comes up constantly and prevents my being able to browse the site. It is really annoying and I cannot find a way to disable it. I have gone to Tools : Options : Security : Exceptions and added the library URL but it has not stopped firefox blocking the site. Please any answers would be extremely gratefully excepted.

I have this problem with a slight twist. In trying to debug the problem I have completely un-installed FF and re-installed a fresh download of latest & greatest. During the un-install I deleted all settings and preferences to ensure a fresh load. The specific problem I have occurs only on some sites. I have set my homepage to be finance.yahoo.com.
When I start up FF or click the HOME button, I get a blank page and FF spins forever. To get around this I disable Javascript and reload the page. I get a message flash by and then I actually get to the page. If I stop on the message it is the same "your browser settings prevent you from automatically redirecting to a new URL". I have tried the suggested solution to uncheck the warning message with no success. I need more guidance as to what settings the message might be referring to.
