Stop auto refresh of web pages

I'm new to the community. I have tried searching, but I can't find the answer. See my screen shot attachment for version and build details.

Web pages automatically refresh when I leave Fire Fox and come back. Let's say I'm trying to set up a log on for a new forum. The web site will send a confirmation code to mmt email. I go to that app to get the code. Then I come back to Fire Fox to enter the code. The page will automatically reload, and mess up the whole process.

How do I stop the auto reload?

If I have to use "about:config" then I have another issue. I can't open it. When I type that into my address bar nothing happens.

I'm loving forward to learning more about Fire Fox.
