Whenever I click on a tab, FF (14.0.1) autoreloads it. Very annoying. Any way to stop it from happening?

That should only happen if you open tabs in the background and haven't visited them yet during the current session.
It shouldn't happen for tabs that you've already visited during the current session.

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