Firefox has decided not to allow me to redirect to some of my bookmarks, also comes up on my home page when I first strart Firefox
As of today my browser has taken up on itself not to allow me to redirect to some of my bookmarks. They had been working problem free until today. I first noticed it when I opened Firefox to my home page and got the message that Firefox had prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. This before I even opened a bookmark.

See:
- Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Tools > Options > 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.

This "fix" has solved the problem but does not expain why it just happened and why it decided to appear as soon as I started Firefox and booted up my home page
An extension may have changed that setting. That is the only way that I can think of if it suddenly changed without you doing it yourself.
