Sometimes, if I leave a tab alone for a while, when I switch back to it, It reloads. This is very annoying. I have kind of slow internet, and once a page is loaded, it doesn't need to be reloaded. How do I disable this?

Are you using Any Auto Reload addons?

Type about:config in Address bar search

accessibility.blockautorefresh and change the value to "True"

Please update your current Flash player to the latest version and check for plugins that need to be updated.
