Keep getting "Firefox prevented this page from automatically reloading" on my start page. Also, no visible toolbar.
Use Earthlink as my homepage. Got new laptop with Windows 7. Every time I load my start page (Earthlink homepage) the "Firefox prevented..." comes up. I click "allow" but message keeps coming back. If I click the "X" it goes away until I try to open the page again. The page does come up but message is annoying. Also, where is my toolbar? If I close Firefox with multiple tabs open and reopen it, only one tab is there. This all was no problem before new Firefox and Windows 7.

(1) To allow pages to reload and redirect as designed, uncheck the box here:
Firefox button or Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload..."
(2) Also, where is my toolbar?
Can you describe which toolbar is missing? Generally speaking you can turn toolbars on and off using:
View > Toolbars
(if you have the orange Firefox button, tap the Alt key first to display the classic menu bar)
(3) If you would like to resume your previous session after starting Firefox, you can use
Firefox button > History > Restore Previous Session
or
History menu > Restore Previous Session
Does that help?

Unchecked first part. That seemed to work. I don't have "View" as a choice anywhere
Make sure that you do not use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.
Use Firefox > Options if you have the menu bar hidden instead of View > Toolbars or press the F10 key to make the menu bar appear.
Okay. I got it. Seemed less complicated before. Been using Firefox for years. Thank you.
Your response to number one was helpful.. It got rid of that annoying bar from popping up. I'd like to understand what "reload or redirect" means so i can make an informed decision. Can you help me? Thanks for responding and solving my initial problem.
Hi jrachelle13:
A reload is an automated re-request of the page. Some sites are programmed to do this every so often while you have the page open, so if you return to the page, it is fresh. For example, sites that display current news or tweets might do this. If you are on a high speed connection with unlimited data use, it's difficult to see the harm of allowing this. Also, it is less common now because more sophisticated techniques can update the page without a full reload.
A redirect is an automated request for a different page. For example, you may have seen sites that handle links out of the site in the following way: you get a page saying "you are leaving in 5 seconds" to a different site. Then after that time, the other page replaces the temporary notice page. Some sites have abused redirects to "trap" you on a page or within a site, so some people prefer to disable them. (Of course, scripts allow many other ways to trap you as well...) Otherwise, I think they are usually okay.
