 Open Firefox, click on Tools, click on options.
  Click on advanced tab, then on sub tab called general.
 Select the checkbox which says ” Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page”.
 That's all I could find in there, hmph!  undecided

There are two ways around it. And an extreme warning that you could kill FireFox if the extension really does not like the new version of FireFox. But you could start FireFox in it's own safe mode if needed.

The first one is a bit of reprogramming.

This one is going into  about:config   and unchecking the checking of compatibility.

I think it could corrupt or delete your profile, where all the bookmarks are stored. You never know with Ad-Ons, what they can do with the browser being tweaked to a different version.

There is MozBackup to save your FireFox profile. It's great when you have different machines, so you can just backup a profile and then install that profile onto another machine.
