Every couple of minutes (maybe 5) Firefox auto refreshes my home page, forcing me to start reading the page from the top, every time. How do I stop this? My home page is a news page.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web Link} by holding down the <Shift>
(Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?
