turned off greasemonkey and everything else that could be causing problems and made exceptions for GLB for all adblock type stuff. still getting the message. its not really hindering anything, but it keeps popping up.
found this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Accessibility.blockautorefresh "Web pages (and web servers) can ask a browser to automatically refresh a page after a given timeout by including the HTML element <meta http-equiv="refresh"> or by sending a Refresh: HTTP header. This can be helpful (as in the case of a webpage whose content is updated constantly) but it also can be irritating."
would seem to indicate its something inside GLB code or GLBs server's that's doing this--but wouldn't explain why no one else is having the problem. Could it be something with incompatibility of a of new version of browser running on older version of windows?
also, other users may not have the problem if they don't have the blockautorefresh option selected. could someone running FF 20.0.1 with Windows 7 try it? Go to Tools, Options, Advanced, then select "warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page"
my tech knowledge is all 15 years out of date, so thanks for the feedback so far and would appreciate any advice.
The meta tag for refreshing the page at a given interval would be super easy to spot. That's definitely not the case.
If you were reviewing the source code of a particular page, you would see the code right in the header section. Somewhere in between <head> and </head> you'd see something like <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="a number for the interval">
