I have just installed a new modem - Motorola SB6121 - comcast activation process has corrupted most of my bookmarks, and redirects me to the activation site.

I have completed the activation process twice now, once with Comcast on the line. What happens is many of my bookmarks refuse to load, and I get the message "firefox has prevented from redirect.." When I press "allow", I am taken back to the Comcast activation site.

If I do a search for the bookmark - say "Firefox", and the search results come up - when I click on the link for "Firefox" I am taken back to the "Firefox has prevented ..." message, and "allow" takes me to the Comcast activation site.

Trying the same process with internet explorer works fine, except I do not have the bookmarks in internet explorer, and wish to continue to use Firefox, but at present it is all but unuseable.

See:

  • 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 your computer system, and Firefox?

Open the Bookmarks Manager. Look some of them ans see if they look okay. Press the Alt or F10 key to bring up the tool bar. Then select Bookmarks. Hot key is <Control>(Mac:<Command>)<Shift> B.
