1255063 - "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" option should have more flexibility

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 423749

(Firefox :: Untriaged, enhancement)

Description

[u552789]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160304114936

Steps to reproduce:

I have turned the "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" option in Firefox on for security reasons, however I have found in some cases that it is rather annoying because for instance there is a page which I fully trust and want to allow to redirect or reload the page whenever it wishes to, or at least in the current session, but that page (for instance when I am uploading certain data to a LaunchPad bug report) constantly reloads or redirects so I have to constantly press the "Allow" button. Eventually I find that I just have to turn the option off temporarily as there is nothing else I can do.

So what I think would be very useful is for that option to have further configuration allowing you to whitelist certain domains or pages. It should also have more buttons than "Allow" in the bar that comes up asking you if you would like to allow the website to reload or redirect the page automatically, buttons such as "Always allow" and "Allow for this session".

These are just some ideas, but something definitely needs to be implemented to make this feature more flexible and less rigid. Because currently one can either have the feature on everywhere, or off everywhere, but many users will want it to be on in some places, and off in others like in my case. So there definitely needs to be some more flexibility in this feature so that I'm not just forced to turn it off entirely when a page I trust needs to do a lot of reloading.

I initially made this request here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1555239
