[Bug 1555239] [NEW] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" option should have more flexibility

[Nikita Yerenkov-Scott]

Public bug reported:

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.
