For the last week or three Firefox refreshes two or three times for each refresh. Sometimes it refreshes for no obvious reason. For instance, I'll be in the middle of typing into a forum's post block & it refreshes. Or filling out an online form. Or simply viewing a page.

You can check for issues caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
