Help Please :Firefox 8 reloading tabs?

Hi, a few weeks ago I upgraded to Firefox 8 but I can't use it because it keeps reloading every tab every few seconds. I'm using Camino browser now no problem, but I'd prefer to fix the problem and go back to using Firefox as it has been my favourite.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.8 Leopard.

Thanks in advance.

by default firefox does not auto reload tabs.... if you are using addons its likely one of those is causing it to do that.

look for an addon called "reloadevery" as this one does exactly what your describing.

disable it and see if that helps

Hi, thanks for the reply. I already checked the add-on's and I've nothing in there that should be making this happen.

I tried reinstalling Firefox but that doesn't help either.

Not sure what to do next? I'm installing ClamXav and will run a scan and see if that helps, though I don't think it will help.

Any other suggestions ?

I would reccomend backing up your favourites and stuff like that and deleting your ff profile. This may help
