Hi b.dunkel,

I don't think we have auto-refresh on iOS. What may interfere with this is perhaps our pull to refresh feature which is currently enable for all users. If you want to propose having a setting to disable this feature, you may want to vote on the following idea in the Mozilla Connect platform -> https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discus.../52559.

Hi Kiki. It auto refreshes when I am reading anything on any website. I am not pulling down to refresh. Just reading. When it refreshes most of the time it goes back to the top. It’s very aggravating. If it can’t be stopped the only solution is to try another web browser.

Does that happen only on a specific website? Or do you know what might've trigger it? Maybe it only happen when you move between tabs?

I couldn't think of a specific reason thay may have caused this and I'm not aware of other reports on iOS.

I've heard reports where badly written ad/tracking code on news sites caused similar refreshes, esp. during progressing further down the page as additional components were getting loaded.

Would it perhaps improve for you if you went into the settings and chose "Strict" tracking protection instead of "Standard"?
