Fed up with websites/tabs continuously reloading themselves and using resources unnecessarily?
Me too!
In firefox, you can disable this from the about:config page.
Look for accessibility.blockautorefresh and set it to true.
Problem solved!
You can also keep an eye on what tab uses most of the resources with the about:performance built-in page.
Hope it helps!

This doesn’t work on v50.0.1.
It used to work however I’ve tried this on the last couple versions and it hasn’t worked.
Any ideas?
Hi Rick,
I’m on v50.0.2 myself and seems to be working fine.
Regards,
Andrea
