Finally found the how to access site Permission tab but all ability to change site redirect is grayed out. How can I give my bank permission to redirect?
Every time I log into online banking Allow request appears when bank attempts to redirect from Home Page to Accounts. How can I give bank permission to redirect and not have to Allow every time. Very annoying!

The redirect is all or nothing with no options to whitelist or blacklist specific domains. There is usually not need to block a redirect (Moved Permanently response header) as it can happen a lot of time and in some cases there are multiple redirects that require a lot of clicking. It only works for a few cases any way (not via a meta tag and not via location.href). So you can disable this accessibility feature.

I'm not sure Firefox views that as a site permission...
The feature of pausing redirects was designed for accessibility purposes, to prevent confusing screen readers, instead of a security feature. (In fact, it is not very effective for security purposes because scripts can bypass it.) This article has more background: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh
Have you found this feature to be more useful than annoying, or do you have it turned on purely as a precaution?
checked the provided link and the technical language was useless as it is beyond my ken. I find the feature very annoying when online banking and not sure it helps anywhere else. Am I putting myself in danger if I disable it and if not, how do I disable it? The disable link I looked at came with a warning that I would be voiding my warranty.exyankee92 said
