Chosen solution

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

"Uncheck the setting "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

Pressing either choice on the pop-up ('stay' or 'continue') does not work.
