Message bar keeps telling me that Firefox would not allow a page to reload. What does this mean?

For a few days now when I go to certain sites I get this message at the top of the page "firefox will not allow this page to reload." Then there is a button that says "allow" or an X. Regardless of which I do, it keeps coming back.

Does the solution in this recent thread help? Firefox will not allow my page to automatically reload.
