Every time I visit CNN I get a message saying that Firefox prevented the page from automatically reloading. I want to allow this. How can I do this? Why does Firefox make this so difficult? It's just a news site...
I want to allow CNN.com and other news and weather pages as well as blogs to automatically reload. I cannot figure out how to do so. Every other browser I've ever used has a way of allowing certain "trusted" sites to reload. All I get is an icon that says "Allow" but when I click on it the message instantly reappears and the only way to get rid of it is to "X" out of it which defeats the purpose completely.

Yes I know about that BUT does this allow the page to auto-refresh? CNN's page refreshes with every news story update. It's my understanding that this selection in the advanced settings just keeps Firefox from warning you about the blocked attempt.
That shouldn't block refreshes.
If that happens then check your extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)

Thanks a lot. I'll give it a shot and see if this does the trick. I only have a couple of extensions/add-ons so it shouldn't be too hard to narrow it down if the page doesn't refresh. Again, thanks :)
