    Firefox Refresh Icon

    I have asked this before. Why does the Firefox Refresh Icon flash? Is there some script running that causes it? Is it refreshing? I do not see this on other web sites.

    Running ver 20.0.1 of firefox.

    This does not happen when viewing with chrome.

    I don't know.

    I believe there is a script that kicks off every few seconds to cache the reply boxes (the auto-save). Other than that, once the page loads and the intellitext is loaded, I don't know of anything else happening.

    I'm using firefox right now. I don't see any refreshes occurring. You might want to check your browser add-ins and extensions to make sure one of those isn't doing something.

    Didn't see anything out of the ordinary. I just found it weird that this is the only site that it happens on. It seems to come and go. Thanks.

    Re: Firefox Refresh Icon

    After a google search I found that this is a common problem. Most of these problems are javascript ad-tracker based. I reset firefox and the problem is gone, for now.
