I'm not sure how to describe this, because its not a full page refresh, but only some content been loaded again over and over

It happens on this site https://apps.facebook.com/beapawnstar/ from time to time, like every 30 seconds it keeps reloading content without a full refresh.

Can I stop that somehow?

It keeps doing it, I guess it's some information it needs to keep loading for the game to work. It reloads content from sites like:

apps.facebook.com app.beapawnstar.com api.gameanalytics.com r.turn.com

I guess Firefox doesn't has some built in feature to stop this calls for happening. Not sure if some Add on can do the job.
