How can I disable redirect warning page appearing?
It comes up every time I want to read a Google news item.
There does not seem to be a setting to use as in earlier versions of Firefox.
This has only appeared in the latest versions of the SW it is very annoying.

Hi Peter,
Would you try this please :
Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter)
(promise to be careful, if asked)
Type in the searchbar and look for the preference :
accessibility.blockautorefresh
and set its value to false to turn it OFF
or set its value to true to turn it ON
Then close and restart Firefox.
'Hope that'll work !

Re: rediect
OK set no access to disability service and see what happens in next few days.
The redirect window that opens does so inconsistantly, I power down the computer when not in use may be a flag gets set somewhere next time it happens will take a note of what I was doing before and what the message is, I would have thought it was a standard message created by Firefox.
Thanks for help.

Re: rediect
I was in Google news and clicked on item to read and the window opened with this message.
The page you were on is trying to send you to http://techpp.com/2017/12/25/huawei-mat ... fications/.
If you do not want to visit that page, you can return to the previous page.

get a decent ad/script blocker, eg uBlock origin and get familiar with it.
this is no firefox issue, its a matter of time and web evolution.

Re: rediect
There's only one setting in Firefox and it's the aforementioned accessibility.blockautorefresh in about:config. This thing, titled "Redirect Notice" is Google's doing.peter prewett wrote:How can I disable redirect warning page appearing?

It goes away if you accept cookies from google.com. If you don't want to, then install Skip Redirect. If you choose the latter, you'll probably want to click its toolbar button and disable the notification pop-up.

Re: rediect
nah - "skip redirect" ist the same bad conversion as in chrome store - needs to click to work - rubbish.

Re: rediect
I used the redirect for Firefox and it worked OK on the link that was not working before.
I have not had problems with Google news to recently.
Thanks for help.
