Firefox automatically refreshes my tabs. I tried to about;config > blockautorefresh = true. It doesn't work. Now I need a solution or I'll get rid of Firefox.

Can you tell what is causing your tabs to refresh? Is this happening every so often, like a news page loading the latest news, or does something else seem to be triggering it?

That preference in about:config will cause a greater annoyance if true. Firefox will keep asking you for permission to redirect. I changed it back to false.
