In Firefox 3 You can block automatically redirecting one page to other. It very useful, but should have more options. For now we have something like that:

What I would like to be is that:

Pitty enough it explains nothing.

ok since you want to attach it here, include my data here, there should be an option to allow a certain page to reload (or redirect I guess though I could care less bout redirecting since its not somethin many legit sites do) unlimited times without constantly confirming it like allow indefinitely. And it is especially annoying on sites like netflix when they go down for maintenance, I see no similarities in my bug and this one, but at least include my data if you are going to combined them to one, I am making a suggestion for this option for a more widely used website that does not function correctly when in firefox web browser and I would classify it as a major bug, but whatever guys.

Since neither the title nor the other comments describe this bug the way that I wanted to search for it:

reload (or refresh) should be another option in the permissions.sqlite database, and its warning bar should function similarly to the popup blocker information bar, allowing you to store your preferences on the fly.

The permission values:
1 = always allow reloads from this domain
2 = always deny (should a warning be displayed in this case?)
3 = (what is the definition of a 3rd party reload?)

It should also allow you to only allow redirects/reloads on the domain in the current session. As well as allowing that particular page rather than the entire domain. So perhaps there should be more options in the bar the comes up, and a whitelist of some sort in the preferences. This is better described in the bug I filed which has just been marked as a duplicate of this bug.

I also filed a report downstream on this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1555239
