whenever I reload or refresh a page, a popup appears saying:

"To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier."

I want to turn that off

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.
