when firefox redirects and asks to "allow", what is the key stroke "allow" versus having to use the mouse to go up to right corner and click allow all the time?
firefox for mac often tells me (for security reasons that I have enabled in preferences) that "firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". To "allow" I have to move my mouse up to the right corner of the screen and click "allow". Is there not a key function that acts the same as the mouse click? Using the mouse is slow and detracts from browsing productivity.

You should be able to press the a key to do this.
The underlined characters on program buttons tells the user that those characters are the keyboard shortcut.

Note that the setting in "Options/Preferences > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Thanks for your reply. "A" key alone did not work, but playing around I found out that Ctrl+A works. Again, I'm using a Mac w/ Firefox for Mac.
