What causes certain pages to continually refresh?

On certain websites Foxfire continually refreshes pages, making the back arrow useless. I did a search and found that running Firefox in safe mode may help eliminate problems with add-ons but safe mode did not stop the problem.

Thanks for your quick reply. I installed the Refresh-blocker and no more refreshes on the problem websites. Thank you!
