549851 - Whenever site is down for maintenance

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 423749

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeff Baily]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a3pre) Gecko/20100302 Minefield/3.7a3pre

I get firefox blocked this page from reloading I do not wish to turn this feature off for all sites but there should be an option to trust this site or considering it is a well known company cant you just put it in your trusted database so I don't get this message and instead it reloads like it is suppose to until the maintenance is finished.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load the page during midnight hours when they are working on site
2. Turn on the warn if page tries to reload or redirect feature
3. and get a dead page that is suppose to refresh but wont
Actual Results:  
it sits on page waiting for you to click allow even after you click allow the screen pops back up asking again if you want to allow.

Expected Results:  
Should refresh until the work on site is done so you don't have to do guess work or turn off an important security feature.

That was everything I could think of, please look into fixing this, it is most annoying to us night owls that always have to wait while netflix does maintenance to get back into site to watch instant movies or shows.

There is no "trusted database".
What I think you are trying to say is "I want to be able to allow specific sites to reload or refresh the page".

yes, like I said if they can't allow this site to be an exception to this somehow, then they should allow users to add their own exceptions since it does not work like it is suppose to with this security feature on.

Comment 3

[Jeff Baily]

all web developers have a trusted database if I was on a modzilla site that wanted to reload I'm sure its own security feature would not disable it from doing so.
