- Rated 5 out of 5by stepanx27, 3 months agoWorks as desired. Press the right mouse button on the website and add the hostname to blacklist, then reload and you should see a red "S" symbol.

- Rated 5 out of 5by dikunav, 7 months agoExactly what I needed. When I was moving multiple internet market tabs they're all started to reload and that slowed browser. This extension stopped it.
- Rated 1 out of 5by DubAgent, a year agoI downloaded and installed to stop twitter from reloading. now none of my videos on twitter will play and the page continues to reload.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 12626933, a year agoDoes not stop the meta tag http-equiv="refresh".
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14371892, a year agoEver have a tab on Twitter/X pinned and come back to it later, only to have the whole page hard-refresh before you can read it again? This fixes that annoyance no problem. BTW I logged into my Firefox account for the first time in 5 years to leave this review, that is how happy I was that this annoyance was solved. THANK YOU for this plugin! 💯

- Rated 5 out of 5by Wirek, 2 years agoIt works great on annoying filmweb.pl where settings/flags like:
accessibility.blockautorefresh true
browser.meta_refresh_when_inactive.disabled true
...in FF 107.0.1 (64-bit) didn't work.
Thank you very much! - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 17779295, 2 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15352451, 3 years agoWorks Nicely. I had one website that continued to reload after configuring about:config to stop reloads, this addon stopped it.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16792125, 3 years agoIt works perfect in every website except of this: https://www.capital.gr/ . When this website tries to reload , the addon works well and doesnt allow it , but in the same time scroll bar automaticaly , goes up on the top of the page ,and then i have to scroll down and search , in which point of the page i was reading before , which is annoying. Please fix it .Thank you.

posted 3 years agoTo keep the page from scrolling, you'll need to install an extension like FireMonkey or Violentmonkey (I only tested with these two). Then create a new script and save the following in it:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Capital disable scroll before reload
// @namespace https://www.capital.gr/
// @match https://www.capital.gr/
// @grant none
// @run-at document-end
// @version 1.0
// ==/UserScript==
const myScript = document.createElement('script');
myScript.textContent = 'gotoPositionAfterRefresh = function(elementID) {}';
document.body.appendChild(myScript); - Rated 5 out of 5by Rusty, 3 years agoDoes what it says. The about:config flag "accessibility.blockautorefresh" was not working on independent.co.uk for me for some reason (thought it works fine for other sites such as buzzfeednews.com), and this add-on is doing the job just great. Thanks!
ETA: There is one problem though, the add-on also disables manually reloading/refreshing black listed sites/domains. I suppose it's easy enough to just load a duplicate tab and close the original, but not quite ideal. Ymmv. - Rated 5 out of 5by Sea Eagle, 3 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by p060477, 3 years agoUPDATE:
done what suggested by dev.:
"Save the following in Options and then reload the repubblica.it page for the settings to take effect:
List of hostnames (one per line):
repubblica.it"
result: REFRESH and again and again...i really think this is a fake add on
on repubblica.it it fails...i've setted this:
List of hostnames (one per line).
repubblica.it
List of hostnames (one per line).
https://www.repubblica.it/
https://www.repubblica.it/index.html
https://www.repubblica.it/index.html?refresh_ce
but the add on fails and the site refreshes the page in a frustrating way...hiow to solve..??

Cris Jolliff herehunder well explained by him on his bad experience for pinterest...in my case the site is repubblica.it..but the bad experience is exactly the same... :(

If a tab is stopped from auto reloading, don't allow it to load a URL that starts with one of the following URLs:
https://www.repubblica.it/index.html?refresh - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 16961747, 3 years agoFor some unbelievably stupid reason, most newspaper sites auto reload every 5 minutes. It is crazy. Thank you for this add-on, which stops that.
- Rated 1 out of 5by Cris Jolliff, 3 years agoDoes not work on Pinterest.com, unfortunately this was the sole website I loaded the plugin for. Happy to work with developer on solution, but I'm just a user, not a programmer...

posted 3 years agoWhen a page is reloaded, the tab activity indicator or throbber will appear on the tab (ping-ponging dots, hourglass, or spinning circle). When I set my computer date ahead by a day and select a Pinterest tab, new pictures will load, but there is no tab throbber. It looks like only part of the page is being refreshed. This extension can't stop something like that. - Rated 5 out of 5by Ramon V M, 4 years agoI needed Twitter to stop reloading automatically after a tab was inactive for several hours. I did not know that after installing the addon I had to reload the tab for the program to take effect. I assumed that it was not working and I contacted the developer by mail who answered me immediately. And after a few messages he told me that I had to write Twitter.com at the host window and reload the tab for it to work for the first time. And indeed, it worked! Thank you! :D
