Firefox is preventing a redirect. The website tries every couple minutes. How do I stop the website from trying to redirect me to their page?
Firefox is preventing www.Inksr.com from redirecting. The site tries every couple minutes. It is annoying because the blank page keeps popping up every minute or so and Firefox keeps preventing it. I do not want to redirect to this website but I want them to stop trying. I have my options set correctly but it will not quit. My security software is not catching it.
