Hello I'm pingu70 and this is my first visit here. On certain websites I get a dropdown message under the address bar saying "Firefox needs to update this page. There is an "allow" button that needs clicking on several times. I'll watch for it and do a print the screen and send it to you

Thanks

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.
