Accessibility.autoblockrefresh

I get the message "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page, which I am sick and tired of having to click on "Allow" for the specific site I'm going to. I don't like the idea of this being controlled on a general setting in the About:Config page, which the setting was to prevent auto refresh, but now it doesn't even stop those pages (i.e., mlb.com refreshed every 60 seconds which I do NOT want happen, ut it still happens with this setting to "True" and a couple of other settings also set appropriately in attempt to block such auto refresh.

Why should I have this setting set to "False" just to not have to deal with this auto-redirect message, and why do I have to have it set for all or no pages rather than be site specific as I see this as a potential security issue.

Sincerely,

Dodgester, CPA, Security+

The accessibility.blockautorefresh pref is an accessibility feature and not meant for security reasons and only works in a few cases (location header or meta tag) and not in a lot of other cases like when the website uses JavaScript. This is the main reason that it has been removed from the Settings pages. A website can also use multiple redirects that makes it harder to proceed to the actual website (i.e. you need to click Allow more then one time), so if you want to use this feature then you will have to accept its limitations that is only works partially.

Maybe there is an add-on that can address that, since there isn't a built-in setting that meets your needs.

The add-ins use to work (i.e., Auto Refresh Blocker) use to work, but it seems FF and Chrome are getting away from using add-ins, thus has no longer worked.

I didn't find an extension by that name, but you could look at this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/stop-auto-reload/

The reviews indicate that there are some sites where it doesn't work, so no guarantees.
