How do I prevent a website like Drudgereport from automatically reloading?

Question

''Duplicate post, continue here - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/806866]''
Sometimes my wifi connection is choppy (darn that microwave popcorn!) and I hate it when I'm in the middle of reading the links in Drudge and it reloads....sometimes shifting the layout a bit or just hanging while it waits for some adserver to respond.
Is there any way to stop this from happening? Tried Freezing the tab. And for some reason, firefox is not preventing this page from automatically reloading like it does others.
Any ideas?

You can also use a simple JavaScript bookmarklet to stop the refresh timer. You need to repeat that with every reload unless you change the code to a Greasemonkey script that runs on that site.
<pre><nowiki>javascript:clearInterval(timer);void(autoRefresh=null);
</nowiki></pre>
* http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet
<pre><nowiki><!--
var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
//-->
</nowiki></pre>
