How can I stop Firefox from constantly refreshing pages. It is driving me mad when reading newspapers etc. online that the pages are refreshing every 1 - 2 minutes. There use to be a fix which worked but of course with all the unwanted upgrades that stopped working a few unwanted upgrades ago.

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

Note that you have an outdated Shockwave Flash 12.0 r0 version. You should consider to update to the latest Flash player.

You can find the latest Flash player versions for Firefox on this page:
