Firefox 3 Will Let You Blok META Refresh
Looks like Firefox 3 will have a setting that will let you block automatic page refreshes (META refresh). About time is all I have to say. Hopefully the next version of Safari will allow this too.

Well, let’s see, Macworld.com and washingtonpost.com for starters. I can understand why they add it to the pages, since they always want the new stories to show up but I’d still like the option of turning it off.
If I’m studying the layout/grid of a site and it keeps refreshing itself that is extremely annoying to me.

Although there are not a ton of sites that do this, that I visit daily, I can definitely see this being useful.
