Firefox 8.0.1 blocking redirects by default

[Kratos]

There's a bunch of things I'm not happy about with Firefox 8 but this surprised me a bit. Firefox is blocking all redirects by default so that when I log into Webmaster Help I get this message...

Quote:Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page.

Then there's an Allow button I need to click. Am I getting old and resistant to change and this is actually quite annoying?

Oh wow.. I thought I'd see if there was an update that fixed the redirect blocking and lo and behold Firefox 8 is history already! Obviously I'm not up to date on the Firefox dev cycle but that seems like and incredibly short life for version 8 so I have another question for you all. Is Mozilla just trying to keep up with Google Chrome's blistering development cycle or have they realised that Firefox 8 had too many FAILS?

Just logged into FF 9 and sadly the redirect blocking is still there
