When I click an email link it opens a new tab but it doesn't show the website, I have to click "ALLOW" first. How do I set it to show automatically??

This started happening after a recent update, I'm running FF 16. It's very annoying when I check 10 emails at a time. Can I get it back to the way it used to be, opening websites from email links automatically. I don't need the added security as I have WOT and KIS installed.

Where do you have to click Allow? If you are getting the infobar indicating that the URL is being redirected, you can turn off that warning.

orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced

On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

Any luck?
