Websites that rely on always having the latest information on the front page can include special code that automatically refreshes or reloads the page after a set amount of time. You can disable this function from your browser settings if you find it annoying or disorienting when frequenting sites that auto-refresh. In order to allow this feature again, you must enable it either from the Firefox general options tab or the configuration page. With the use of add-ons or Web services, this feature can also be enabled on Web pages that do not support it natively. Writer Bio
