I keep receiving Redirect Notices, just started today. Although there is a place to click through to the new website, when I click it, it simply reloads the redirect notice. This has happened for many different websites, so it's not the specific site. _______________________________________________________________________

I have already looked at the options button "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page." I've tried it checked and unchecked.


I've cleared cache, removed cookies, restarted firefox, and restarted the computer. No dice. What do I try next?

Notice reads as follows:

Redirect Notice The previous page is sending you to http://www....

If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...

thank you phillip. I tried safe mode, could not replicate. But after I did so, I restarted as usual and was unable to replicate. Thanks for the suggestion I hadn't thought of. I believe it's stopped, for now. T
