FF Android Autorefresh making browser unusable

The autorefresh is making the browser unusable, the page barely loads - there's no time to even type in a username, before it refreshes.

I found a setting that's possible under about:config, "accessibility.blockautorefresh" on another forum page. But that setting no longer appears to exist in Firefox Nightly or Firefox Beta.

FF works fine on my Mac, but on the Chromebooks, it's unusable for any pages requiring login, and nearly so on other pages, especially any page with heavy graphics having to reload. It's also not doing content publishers any favors to use extra bandwidth which isn't needed.

I don't know why autorefresh is even a thing, much less why it's required (since the option to disable it appears to be gone). If I actually want to refresh a page, I can do that. And web developers have their own tools to make pages refresh if it's needed on their site.

Ironically, if I wanted to type this post up on my Chromebook, I'd have to use Chrome, I wouldn't be able to log into FF to post it! Instead I'm using FF on a Mac.

Is there really any way to stop FF Android from continual refreshes?
