I have tried everything. I have visited multiple websites looking for answers. Disabled all of my add-ons, played with about:config, tried ending task, disabling and re-enabling Firefox with the help of task manager, and it still hasn't stopped. Every time I return to another tab, the tab reloads. I've been having this problem for at least three days now.

Hello kakyote,

This sounds like one of the new features that came with the update to Firefox 67.0 :

See under "New" - suspending unused tabs

And also :

If you want to disable this feature :

Type in the address bar about:config and press Enter (promise to be careful, if asked)

Type in the search bar and look for the preference :

browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory

and set its value to false

Then close and restart Firefox.
