The website is OTRnow. It plays but I receive a message that Firefox has prevented this page from automatically refreshing. I am giving the option to allow but it does not work. I x out and the page will not update with the new information of what is being played.

Chosen solution

@ MYRONALAN, could you try clicking the "Solved It" button again? I just tested it on another forum and didn't experience any problems, so maybe it's been fixed on this one too.

See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789994

If that doesn't work, do this.

In the address bar, type about:config and hit Enter.

In the filter at the top, copy/paste the following: accessibility.blockautorefresh

Double click it to change it from "True" to "False"

Really? Never heard of that happening before.

We'll have to wait until a Moderator checks this thread a little later.

still not working I receive the following message when I click on the SOLVED IT button.

ACCESS DENIED YOU DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO ACCESS THIS PAGE

I haven't seen any new threads marked as solved recently, so it is possible that that feature is currently disabled.

You would need to create a new thread to test this (possibly on support-release.allizom.org).
