How can I stop auto refreshing of websites (advanced options no longer available)?
I think this started to be a real problem when firefox recently updated to the new version; every website updates automatically, and in the case of FB this can lead to constant flashing to the point that I can't read the posts. I would like to manually refresh without any auto refreshing at all.

Give this a try please : uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Please Do the Mac Equivalent Note: your Firefox Profile is saved. But you should make a back up before you do :

Reinstall with Current Release Firefox 57.0.3 with a Full Version Installer

In Firefox 56+ the "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" setting can no longer be found in Options/Preferences.
You can modify this pref on the about:config page to enable or disable this feature
The "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" warning is meant as an accessibility feature so people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and isn't meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.
This works for most pages, apparently. FB is glitching, but it looks more like a FB problem to me. Thanks.
