I am using the advanced option: warn when sites try to redirect... I want to be able to toggle this to always, never, or once. I want to be able to do this per page, per site, and per domain. Basically some sites or some pages I want to always follow redirects, and some never. Also I would like to be able to find out where it is redirecting to without digging through the page source. Thank you

win xp sp3 firefox 7.0.1

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.

Hi Thanks cor-el for your answer. I had already seen your first suggestion, and already searched through the add-ons. I was hoping that I was just missing something that was obvious to everyone else. Am I really the only one who has a problem with this? Again, thanks
