I am constantly being shown this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." Why does this happen?

I am constantly being shown this message: "Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page." The result is that I am often looking at a blank screen with an option to click on "Allow." But sometimes the message comes up and I am on the page I want to be on anyway. I don't understand this and don't know how to change this setting, if indeed I have set up Firefox this way. Help?

Do a malware check with some malware scan programs. You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

That message is a result of your settings

  • Firefox button/File > Options > Advanced > General > un-check "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" to no longer see that message
