Firefox Refreshing Consantly.

Hi,\

Over the past week or so, my homepage refreshes intermittently and all of the time when I close tab. When I am on my homepage to read (MSN), I typically use the right click command to open the links in a new tab so I can keep the article in the homepage there. Every time I close the news tabs, the homepage refreshes. If I am just sitting on the homepage for few minutes, it auto-refreshes.

This does not happen on Edge or Chromium and I have been back to Firefox because I want more control over not having AI functions and Chromium still has serious limitations. But this is annoying. I have tried changing as many of the relevant settings in about:config that I could find to no avail. My PC an All-in-One 6 core Ryzen 7 with 16GB of RAM, which is far more than enough to handle the memory hog Firefox is (sometimes it eats nearly 2 gigs).

Any thoughts?

Thanks, Tom

Please ignore this regarding the refreshing issue. It is MSN doing that. It does not happen on any other site and it DOES happen using Edge/Chromium. It did not at first but really did since using Edge this morning. Delete this if necessary as I have no ability to do so here.

Thanks.
