How can I stop pages from automatic reloading, I am aware of the option in advanced, but it does not work for pages like Yahoo News and Drudge Report.

I am trying to stop pages from being able to automatically reload. Sites such as Drudge Report and now Yahoo News anre reloading before I have a chance to read them and it confuses me due to a disability besides just being annoying. I have found the option in tools-advanced-accessibility and checked it but they still reload. And I did close Firefox and restart.

I am using version 3.6.8 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722

Thanks

The Drudge Report site has a script to reload after 3 minutes: 

 var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
 function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}

The Yahoo page probably has something similar.

You can try NoScript to see if you can block that refresh.
