Turn off Pale Moon preventing redirects

Unread post by floatingkeyboards » 2018-11-26, 07:04

I would like to turn off Pale Moon from blocking redirects for certain sites that are "piloting" the redirect. Alternatively, I would be ok with allowing redirects for a short period of time, as opposed to allowing site specific redirects.

Pale Moon does not block redirects by default.
If you are talking about the accessibility feature, then I'm sorry but that will not be made "selective" as that is not its purpose.

I am not familiar with all of the settings and the terminology.
At the top of the screen (where the top of the web page would normally be displayed), a message comes up saying that Palemoon prevented the site from redirecting. Part of what's displayed is a button where you can click "allow." One time this even occurred on the Pale Moon website. Here is a screen shot.

I guess you are saying that this was caused by a setting that I changed, which I suppose is quite possible.

What is your setting for the accessibility.blockautorefresh preference? I'm guessing you have it set to true. Setting it back to the default of false should remove that message and allow redirects, but that would do it for all sites, not just specific sites.

If you want the redirect to happen, just click "Allow".

That will only fix it for that one redirect. It will ask again next time.
