Whenever I move to a new site or web page, I get the notice that Firefox has not allowed me to be "re-directed" to another page, which usually is the page I want to go to. How do I turn it off?

See:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options/Preferences > 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.
