disable auto refresh and allow redirection on firefox 70

I want to be able to disable auto refresh while at the same time allow redirection. Currently the settings for those two features are orthogonal. How do I make this happen? Problem: Instagram keeps auto refreshing - very annoying, Turn off auto refresh in the about:config and now all redirect pages hace a warning message that i have to click through - very annoying. Please help.

Hi Gary, you may want to look for an add-on that can handle refreshing of problem sites rather than using the built-in feature.

Hi Gary, I haven't used any no-refresh extensions myself.
