Firefox keeps saying it has blocked websites from moving from page to page, can I stop this?
Hi, Firefox keeps preventing some sites from automatically redirecting to another page which is driving me crazy! Whilst I can see it would be useful for some sites pushing you to another page it is most annoying when it happens when you are just moving around a website. Can it be stopped?

Not related to your question, but...
You may need to update some plug-ins. Check your plug-ins and update as necessary:
- Plug-in check --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
- Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in: Installing (or Updating) the Shockwave plugin with Firefox
- Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape: Installing/Updating Adobe Reader in Firefox
- Shockwave Flash (Adobe Flash or Flash): Updating Flash in Firefox
- Next Generation Java Plug-in for Mozilla browsers: Installing or Updating Java in Firefox
Many thanks.
Aw shucks! Now I've disabled this, I cannot click on the items I need to on the page! Some items are available but most are not. Help! This is on www.ancestry.co.uk

Disabling that warning should have nothing to do with item/link availability on a page. The option you originally questioned, is only to show or not show the warning at the top of the page when a web site is redirecting to another page or trying to reload the page. To test, turn it back on and see if those items are available on the ancestry.co.uk page.
