Why does Firefox display a screen, then several (8-10) seconds later refresh that same screen ?

I am using Windows XP, and connect to Internet via slow AT&T DSL. When switching sites on the WEB, the screen from the site is displayed, then shortly afterward the screen gets refreshed automatically. Also of note, at the bottom of the screen, I can see verbiage explaining what is happening, EG; "Waiting for google", "Updating", "Transferring" etc, and the site name.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is interfering here...
