When I made the mistake of upgrading Firefox I had to reinstall the old version to get it to work correctly again. Try this link to an older version: http://www.oldapps.com/firefox.php I think I used 19.0, but I honestly can't remember.

It could also be a newer version of GreaseMonkey causing an issue so try here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ for an older version; again I think it's 1.8 so try that version.

I wanted you to try IE as a test. Not for you to switch to it. Just so we can rule out a lot of potential causes

my point was that the error I'm having is Firefox showing a message about what Firefox is dong. I wouldn't expect that to happen with any other browser, so not sure what it proves unless you're thinking some malware is impersonating a message to look like the browser is doing it? I did open Safari and go to GLB. No issues.

I do have adblock plus running but set it to exclude all GLB pages. I tried no script once but made doing much of anything such a chore I turned it off.

Ok i see what happened to you. The redirect issue is happening when you let your account time out and try to connect you get redirected to the login page via this-

http://goallineblitz.com/game/login.pl?timeout=1&redirect=/game/home.pl

So if you have that setting turned on in your options it prevents that. However the real issue appears to be that once this happens, even if you turn the setting off, the page is still blocked or prevented from functioning. I was getting 404 errors probably due to timeout as the page would just sit there trying to load. I couldn't even get to the login page via the main GLB splashscreen page.

I tried several things to get it to work. I tried going into about:config and setting network.websocket.auto-follow-http-redirects to true but it seemed to keep wanting to reset to false.

Then i went to tools and used the "Clear recent history" selection there, and picked browsing history, form and search history(probably not needed), cache and cookies for the last four hours and i was then able to get the login page to load.. You may have to clear back to where you first ran into the problems (couple days, maybe a week?)

As a warning, that doing this may fiddle with the way your webpages look. As an example when i got to the login page, my page size was reset to default. I don't know what other things may have been reset but they should be mostly cosmetic.

Hopefully this helps you get things back to normal. Oh and btw, turn off that redirect setting. Too many websites make use of redirects for logins and things that it will just be a mess. Rely on other things to kill ad redirects and the like.

i don't keep a history--all the settings are max privacy and everything is cleared every time I exit FF. I do have the default page view zoomed in a bit for all browsing... could that screw anything up?

are you sure its safe to let pages automatically redirect me? I guess I'm just not sure what "re-direct" means. My fear is going to one page and being hijacked to something else without consent

update to all of this... did not see the same message come up someplace other than GLB, but not on almost every page as it does here

i'm pretty convinced its something in the coding or something the servers here do... guessing my particular settings/configuration would be why others are seeing the same?

The message you see is as i mentioned in the beginning of my post- When you try to connect to GLB after being automatically "logged out" of your account for a while, it redirects you to the login page. They have a built in 2-3 hour logout that kicks in if you are inactive on the site. That is why the message pops up. you are being redirected from the page you requested to the login page (as per my link in my previous post- note it says "redirect"). It remains there till you answer it one way or another, even if you move to a new page.

I would suggest turning off that setting, and getting the adblocker plus addon. It will eliminate a lot of (if not all) the ad's you would run into that would redirect you maliciously. However it may not fix your current issues

When i hit this, i was unable to even log into the site until i managed to correct the problem as outlined above. I could go directly to forum pages or whatever but i could not log in. But that was more of a flaw in FF (my opinion) than something to do with GLB. It wasn't following my settings even after i turned that selection off.
