1340151 2013-05-09 04:44:00 Had the same issue with Firefox 20.0.1. Mainly the pages blocked seem to be tracking sites which are probably harmless in themselves but who wants to take the risk?

To disable the notification go to tools => options => accessibility and uncheck the box "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"

I'm not so sure it solved the problem, probably only covered up the symptoms...

If you have adware\malware\spyware you need to remove it.

1340156 2013-05-12 10:27:00 It's not actually malware. It is a feature built into more recent versions of Firefox. Annoying and a bit surprising when you haven't seen it before but not malware so won't be detected as such by malware scanners or AV's. Blue Druid (4480)
1340157 2013-05-12 10:54:00 "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page". So your page won't get redirected or reloaded? PPp (9511)
1340158 2013-05-12 11:03:00 Not unless you request redirection or reloading. It is intended to prevent websites from doing this without your permission. It does not stop links from functioning when you click on them or the page from refreshing when you hit 'reload.' Blue Druid (4480)
