How do I stop the allow function on automatic redirect? I click links and every time I have to click allow before the browser redirects me to the next page. Often I am kicked out of surveys due to this. I want to turn this off and be automatically redirected every time. Cannot find how to turn this off in the Security section

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar and search for prefs that refer to ask.com. You can reset user set (bold) ask.com pref(s) prefs via the right-click context menu to the default value.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Type about:preferences#advanced<enter> in the address bar. Under Advanced, select General Turn off Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page
