Closing "Firefox prevented this page automatically reloading" allows the auto-recharges. or continue to deny, but without informing you?

In Options/Advanced/general Options, that I 'Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page' selected.

However there are some cases - for example, when a page has me 'pending' temporarily when the site is too busy ("we're going to keep you in the queue and will warn you if the website is available"), with the "Firefox prevented this page automatically reloading" bar appears in the upper part.

If I left the bar remain without any intervention on my part, can the page REALLY let me know when the site is available? Or how about if I click Close (X) on the bar, which in fact disappear. Is Firefox and then allowing the page reload, or is it always block but just to remove the notification that it is done? (A third choice, by clicking the "Authorize" button is essentially useless in this case because it just instantly reappears.)

Bottom line, I strive to make sure the page that's too busy REALLY can let know me when it is available, without having to change all of the global settings.

If you do not click allow, Firefox will ignore a metatag to refresh as follows in order to reload the page every 30 seconds:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30">

But as you point out, by clicking on allow made that immediately reload the page and the same triggers InfoBar again. One of the many reasons that this feature is more trouble that it's worth.

If you leave the display bar or if you 'x' of the bar, the scripts can always reload the page. In other words, this function does NOT stop something similar to the following to reload the page every 60 seconds:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.setTimeout(function(){window.location.reload()}, 60000);
</script>

So what is happening on the page in question depends on how it is designed.
