Firefox is constantly auto refreshing while I am browsing. How do I make this stop? All the online solutions reference the Options Menu and then the General Tab where I am supposed to either check "Warn me box" or go to the Advanced options. Neither of these exist. Help!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
