Redirect in Same Tab

[almo136]

Hi,

I'd like to automatically redirect a page when it is opened. I need the redirected page to open in the same window/tab.

I've tried this meta redirect but this opens a new tab:
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=redirect.html">

I've also tried this JS but it also opens a new tab:
window.location = "redirect.html";

Does anyone know how I can redirect but stay in the same tab?

Thanks!

Neither of those approaches will open a new tab or window on its own. The culprit is most likely hiding in the source code for redirect.html.

So the methods mentioned above should open it in the same tab?

redirect html is just a blank file at the minute.

I'm guessing it may be a setting in my firefox then?
