Can anyone help me out and others on this matter? several months ago appears FB decided to screw everyone over by arbitrarily forcing auto refresh. If you're reading something long and or have to step away for a moment it is gone.

Some have posted for chrome they have an extension that stopped it. The only one on FF does not work. I tried it, does nothing at all. Time for FF to fix this issues allowing you to turn it on or off at my will.

Thanks Mike

I don't experience that with the most recent view. Are you using top stories?

I have an extension FB Purity and a user script Disable AutoRefresh. One of those may help.

That script is on greasyfork. org I'm not sure it helps. I have to disable it on certain sites, notably forum sites (including this one) and a share broker's site.
