Hi Triton, the redirect block was designed for users of screen reader software to avoid losing context. It is not part of the site permissions system.

You can submit comments and suggestions for feature changes through one or more of the following links, or recently I saw someone created a Change.org petition (no idea whether that helps):

• Feedback: https://qsurvey.mozilla.com/s3/FirefoxInput/
• Discourse: https://discourse.mozilla.org/c/firefox-development
• Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/
• Twitter: https://twitter.com/firefox
• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Firefox

Since any such change would take a long time to implement -- the old block is often ineffective and needs extensive updating -- you could consider using an add-on for now, if you can find one with this feature.

There was an add-on that did this for you, but it is not compatible with Quantum Firefox.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for what you want.

Note that this feature had been removed from the Options/Preferences page because it didn't work properly and only works for a few cases (no server redirects), so it is very unlikely that it might be re-implemented.

Some old bugs about this feature:

• Bug 685496 - (redirect-warn) Tracking bug for enhancements and bugs with "Warn Me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" feature and the corresponding "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page" information bar
