If I ALLOW a page to redirect and realize that was wrong, how do I reset the redirect control to BLOCK?

I have received the "Firefox has prevented this page from redirecting to another page." message and have clicked on ALLOW. I now understand that was a mistake and I want future attempts by this page to redirect to be BLOCKED. I have tried removing all cookies but that doesn't do it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

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.
