Hi Paul,

thank you for this information. I've worked around this by using Netscape which 
even in its newest version does not support this header but displays the page 
correctly, thus allowing me to do what I wanted to do. But I have to say that 
subscribing is the better option, though I can't figure out what "nnn" stands 
for. A number? I've tried to email this addresses but they report inexistent: 
"[email protected]", 
"[email protected]", 
"[email protected]"
What is "nnn" and where do I find it?

Thanks, Mattia

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.
