All debian.org hosts use this header where possible. As you can see in
the Mozilla documentation, it is used to prevent clickjacking attacks
as well as hosts passing off content as their own, so I'm not sure it
is a good idea to disable it. I think it might be best for you to use
a browser extension to achieve the autorefresh and open a window for
each CVE. You could also just subscribe to the Debian bug mail for
each bug associated with the CVEs you are interested in.
