A few weeks ago a site annoyed me by automatically redirecting me

I discovered that there was a setting to block it until

I now think the cure is more nuisance than it's worth.
I don't remember how to toggle it.
Using SeaMonkey 2.40 on WinXP.
Help please.
TIA
Enter "about:config" (without the quotes) in the SeaMonkey address
area (URI bar). In the Search area, enter "redirect" (again
without the quotes). Any entry that is bold is something you might
have changed.
Thank you.
That wasn't fruitful. Everything that came up had a status of
"default" rather than "user set". Knowing how I normally do
things I likely would have used something under Edit->Profiles. I
use "about:config" so rarely I hadn't thought of looking there
for what had been changed. I know I had intentionally changed
"something".
Any suggestions?
accessibility.blockautorefresh
I think there's also a checkbox for it in SeaMonkey's options, but I
don't know where.
On the menu bar, select [Edit > Preferences]. On the left side of the
Preferences window, select [Appearance > Content]. It is the
next-to-last checkbox.
Thank you. I'm regularly in in the Appearance menu handling what site
designers foist on we of tri-focal brigade. This time I hadn't drilled
down far enough. But it was worthwhile - I just noticed an option to
zoom text but not images. I'll have to experiment with that one. I
force a minimum font size. Some sites [whose designers have perfect
vision and huge monitors] have a menagerie of absolute and relative
positioning which give horrible results. I have a site in mind. More
later if I discover anything useful.
Thanks all for the responses.
You should switch to Firefox and use the Reader View feature when a site
provides it.
