Hi, some web page refresh itself even without java/script enabled.
Is there any settings that would prevent this.
Thanks

Cache refresh is by default on automtic:
Try different values such as Once Per Session - That should have the desired effect
(but all pages do it then ).

Thankyou for replying.
Sorry question was not clear, it is not about the cache.
I mean the web page send you to some 'other' site after a little while without your clicking anything.
The tag in the html source look like this: (??? is deleted)
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="8;url=http://www.???.info/cgi-bin/go.cgi?site_id=12286">

Happy new year.

I am sorry, that i di not understand - I am German i do not speak English well;

Meta: "refresh" or whatever they call it in English.

I am sorry - but i do not know a sure way (that i have tested myself) to avoid that with any browser. The tag is supposted send You away. The only thing that i know that You can try.

Go to about : config or go to advanced configuration panel
( I can not write it together - like it must be written - else we may get a smilly :p)

Here You would look for the value for permitted redirections and set it to zero.

The term is: network.http.redirection-limit and the default is tweenty.

But this is no usefull setting for every day. So it might be abandoned and useless.

btw: if You do not know a setting about:config is the place to find it.
explanations of usefull settings are similar for all gecko browsers.

just google the term - one is in k-meleon wiki.

Neither is my English. Your trying to help is what counts.
Thanks again.

Quan Kieu,

Have you figured out how to do this? It seems that you need to set network.http.redirection-limit to 0 to disable redirection, but that would break a lot of sites.

Hi, rmn.
I wouldn't mind breaking any site that use this tag.
I've just tried your suggestion.
K-meleon still leaves the current page but would throw a 'Redirect Loop' error.
Google found lot of (meta http-equiv) discussions.
This tag seems to be used to curb your browser disallowing java.
Without any blocking, they will send you to any 'C-a-s-i-n-o' site they want.
It can be embarassing when surfing at work, suddenly a XXX site show up.
