I'm enrolled in an online business training program called Power Sellers College. In that site, there is a private messaging system that I may use to correspond with my instructor, other instructors, other students etc. This Private Messaging System refreshes itself automatically every 60 seconds. A bar from Foxfire appears that states "Foxfire prevented this page from automatically reloading" and further down the bar there is an "Allow" button and then an "x" in the top right corner. Even though I push the "Allow" button and the bar disappears, it immediately reappears stating the same thing. I'm not sure if I'm getting my messages or not because I have corresponded with my instructor this way before and I don't recall ever seeing that pop up message from Foxfire before until lately. I only ask this because this is the second time he has missed our scheduled phone appointment. The first time he didn't call me he said he had sent messaged to all his students cancelling all his appointments but I did not get one and I figured he had just missed me. Now this is the second time I've received no message from him or any other message from him or any other instructors and I'm wondering if it's because of Foxfire preventing anything from getting through. My question is : How do I stop Foxfire from preventing that page of refreshing itself even after I allow to do so?

Websites can redirect more than once, so you may not see anything happen and may need to click Allow more than once.

See:

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

Thank You cor-el for your suggestion to help solve my problem but before I ever posted a question, I hit the 'allow' button so many times on separate occasions the clicker on my mouse is worn out. Ok, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but you get my meaning. The problem still exists. Any other suggestions?

Did you disable that setting in Tools or Firefox > Options?

  • Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

That 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.
