Bing.com image page keeps reloading automatically
When I search on Bing.com using Firefox 54, then click 'images', the entire images page keeps reloading automatically. Hitting the escape key doesn't stop it. This is not the only website that does this (rare. though. the occurrence), but, Bing.com's image page is repeatable and a common page that I need to access. If I use MS-Edge or IE 11, it doesn't happen at all, so, maybe, they're doing something on purpose to screw-up Mozilla, unless, of course, I need to change a Firefox setting on my end.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.
A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
I tried your suggestion. The result was the same, but, the refreshing was much faster, which implies that, in "normal" mode (i.e., with add-ons activated), the myriad pop-up and ad blockers that I use were attempting to scan the images, thus slowing whatever is going on. This does not happen with Google Images or most other pages with multiple images, so, again, this is a "Bing" thing!

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration in Firefox. Since this feature was added to Firefox it has gradually improved but there are still a few glitches.
You will need to restart Firefox for this to take effect so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.,) and then perform these steps:
In Firefox 54 and below:
- Click the menu button
and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the Advanced panel and the General tab.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.
In Firefox 55 and above:
- Click the menu button and select Options (Windows) or Preferences (Mac, Linux).
- Select the General panel.
- Under Performance, uncheck Use recommended performance settings. Additional settings will be displayed.
- Uncheck Use hardware acceleration when available.
- Close Firefox completely and then restart Firefox to see if the problem persists.

If the problem is resolved, you should check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in these Knowledge base articles:
Remove History For One Site
Open the History Manager <Control><Shift> H. In the search bar, enter the name of the site. Right-click on one of the listings and select Forget About This Site. This should remove all information, including any passwords / settings.
I had already cleared my cache & history, restarted Firefox, and the hardware acceleration option was already unchecked, so, your suggestion was moot, though I appreciate the detail.
