What a mistake it's answer to 'Blocked Redirect'?

I don't like the message that Firefox has prevented the redirect and was looking for a way to turn it off.

These forums provided a (supposedly) definitive answer.

But how bad is it:

Here is where it's at:
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/890333

and then he said:
Putting in "Firefox > Preferences > advanced > general" is designed as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of this section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers don't get confused not and is not intended as a security protection to stop to redirect.

Quote: "...not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting..."

But it provides a link to:
https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Advanced-settings-browsing-network-updates-encryption?redirectlocale=en-us & redirectslug = options + Window +- + Advanced + Panel #General_tab

Who says clearly:

Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page: when this option is enabled, Firefox will prevent websites to redirect you to another page or reload automatically.

Quote: "....will prevent websites from redirecting..."
 Seems contradictory to me. I am going to switch it off (uncheck the  box) and see what happens. Because it seems to me that I only get smooth net operation when I (repeatedly, annoyingly) 'allow' these redirects.
 If I'm right and that Q & A are misleading I think they should be removed - you'll note the question is locked at the moment and can't be amended but just sits there with its erroneous message (according to me ).

In fact, volunteers on this forum improvise a lot, so please do not take one of these messages as "final". Knowledge Base articles are more reliable, but are somewhat simplified and cannot solve all the details.

I read in some posts here that the effect of the box is limited because it targets only one of the many ways that recharge/pages can redirect, especially using JavaScript. If the text in the article have an asterisk or parentheses mentioning that.
