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:
http://i26.tinypic.com/28arfhv.jpg

If it's matter there is extension for Firefox 2 which has such options
RefreshBlocker - https://addons.mozilla.org/pl/firefox/addon/992

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

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:

Title:
  "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" option
  should have more flexibility

Status in Mozilla Firefox:
  Confirmed
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have turned the "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload
  the page" option in Firefox on for security reasons, however I have
  found in some cases that it is rather annoying because for instance
  there is a page which I fully trust and want to allow to redirect or
  reload the page whenever it wishes to, or at least in the current
  session, but that page (for instance when I am uploading certain data
  to a LaunchPad bug report) constantly reloads or redirects so I have
  to constantly press the "Allow" button. Eventually I find that I just
  have to turn the option off temporarily as there is nothing else I can
  do.

  So what I think would be very useful is for that option to have
  further configuration allowing you to whitelist certain domains or
  pages. It should also have more buttons than "Allow" in the bar that
  comes up asking you if you would like to allow the website to reload
  or redirect the page automatically, buttons such as "Always allow" and
  "Allow for this session".

  These are just some ideas, but something definitely needs to be
  implemented to make this feature more flexible and less rigid. Because
  currently one can either have the feature on everywhere, or off
  everywhere, but many users will want it to be on in some places, and
  off in others like in my case. So there definitely needs to be some
  more flexibility in this feature so that I'm not just forced to turn
  it off entirely when a page I trust needs to do a lot of reloading.
