Main problem is Drudgereport.com . It reloads several times before I can read even 1/4 of the page. It takes longer to reload than the time that it is up.

You can turn on a warning: See: Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"

You could possibly use this bookmarklet to disable the refresh on the Drudge report website. You need to run this bookmarklet after every (re)load of the page.

javascript:clearInterval(timer);void(autoRefresh=null);

The site uses this code to refresh every three minutes and the bookmarklet disables this:

var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
