      Greetings Ed!               EV> 09-04-14 16:06 Roy Witt wrote to Ed Vance about Firefox Allow Button               EV>> Can anyone suggest a setting I can change in Firefox 31.0 Options so        EV>> all the WebMail sites I use never asks me to click a Allow button?               RW>> Options, General, Accessibility, unclick "Warn me when websites        RW>> try to redirct or reload a page".               EV> Thank You Roy,              De nada               EV> I appreciate You telling me what the cause of the message and the        EV> Allow button I see when I Sign Off of AT&T Web Mail is but I would        EV> rather have that option Checked so I will be notified when        EV> redirections occur.              Then you will see it on every site that re-directs you to another website.       Sometimes it's not a bad thing, but then sometimes it is. It is also a       dangerous way to browse the internet and keep your computer free of       re-directing you to a site where you can pick up malware.               EV> But why ONLY AT&T Web Mail and NOT my other Web Mail accounts when I        EV> Sign OFF from them?              AT&T must be sending you to a 'sign in' page or similar. My bank does that       too after I go online and pay my bills via Epay. Which must be accessed       from my bank's website. Dunno why they're linked that way.               EV> I see the same message and Allow button on the Bar appear on the        EV> screen for only an instant and then it vanishes and I see the Web        EV> Mail Home Page for those accounts show up in Firefox, without having        EV> to Click the Allow button when I use those accounts.              If you press the 'Allow' button provided by the re-direction, you may be       surprised at what that will get you. I was allowed to be re-directed to a       XXX porn site by doing that. I know that you and I don't have any young       children in the house, but what if your grandchildren are using your       computer while visiting you.               EV> Why I don't get troubled when I Exit Web Mail on those accounts but        EV> AT&T Web Mail always does that is strange to me.              Disallow it sometime and find out.               EV> Computers ARE strange things.              They're subject to: Garbage in = garbage out.               Have a day!               R\%/itt - K5RXT                     ...
