do you want to stop it from automatically reloading

How to stop Firefox from automatically making connections without my permission

Try to change the accessibility.blockautorefresh pref to false on the about:config page.

I too experience the identical problem. The WORKAROUND in Firefox version 22.0 is to UNCHECK "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page".

Thanks joede, As long as Mozilla remembers this is a workaround. I would still like to be warned when redirection occurs.
