Everytime I sign onto my laptop and go to my homepage (xfinity.com) Firefox leaves a message showing it has stopped this page from automatically loading. How do I get it to stop and just let my homepage load up?

Does the page load ok if you click the link in your post? The home page is not particularly special it just loads in a tab, or multiple tabs if there are more than one homepages.

I may have phrased the question incorrectly. Firefox doesn't stop it from loading exactly, the message reads "Firefox has stopped this page from automatically reloading" and then there is a box saying "allow" and an X. When I click on the allow it goes away but pops up again the same when I click on the X. the key words being reloading. Is there a way of getting that to stop?
