I get a message saying "Firefox has prevented this page from reloading" when I am trying to load video to Facebook which stops it from loading. I click "allow" and the message just reappears. How do I allow this function?
Message reads "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading".

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.

OK, I understand that I should be warned when a page wants to redirect to another site. I WANT that!!! But when I am on a page of a site I trust, and I get the message that "Firefox has prevented this page from automatically reloading" and I press the "Allow" button, THAT SHOULD be the END of it!!!!!!! From then on, it should ALLOW the damned page to reload!!!!! To make this happen, I have to turn off the "Warn me if a page redirects" This is ludicrous. I WANT to be warned about redirection. I even like being warned that a page wants to reload when I first go to a site. But once I have been to that site and know what it is doing, I should be able to allow it, permanently, without sacrificing general security. Thank you for your quick response.
Websites can redirect more than once, so you may not see anything happen and may need to click Allow more than once.
I agree with LarsMac. We aren't talking about redirecting. I would like to be notified if I'm being redirected. We are talking about reloading, for example uploading a video onto Facebook. I had to hit the "Allow" button over a dozen times to get a small video file loaded. There should be an 'exception' list to the reloading and/or redirecting option just like Firefox has for popups. Thanks
