A search of my Firefox options does not bring up accessibility options for me to modify so how can I do so?

I want to turn off the constant message about redirecting to another site. I have read the answers/help that others have offered. But when I search my Options, nothing for Accessibility options comes up. I've looked under Tools and under the 3 bar menu. Nothing. How can I modify my accessibility options when I have no menu item to do so?

Hi, the Options page was reorganized in Firefox 56 and that checkbox is no longer included. There is another way to change the setting:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste access and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the accessibility.blockautorefresh preference is bolded and "modified" or "user set" to true, double-click it to restore the default value of false

Success?
