Is this on any webpage or just some? Does the page try to open or nothing happens? Sometimes a wed link is not flagged as a web link. Is the link you are using a link or plain text? (Right-click the link)

Start your Computer in safe mode with network support. Then start Firefox. Try Secure websites. Is the problem still there?

In Firefox 56+ the "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" setting can no longer be found in Options/Preferences.

You can modify this pref on the about:config page to enable or disable this feature
