fivealive Posted October 23, 2013 ID:745520 Share Posted October 23, 2013 For the last few days, when ever I go to my outlook inbox for the first time after opening the browser, not 5 seconds after opening an email, the whole site refreshes, as if I hit the refresh button, even though I have not done that. I was wondering if anyone had any idea the cause of this. I have spent the last 4 hours using google trying to figure it out. I have yet to find anything about this issue. I even went so far as to try and post in the outlook forums that Microsoft provides but they are a mess to navigate. I am using firefox 24 with noscript and adblock plus, that being said the outlook site, well live.com site is allowed completely via noscript. EDIT: I did just come across a page on the microsoft forums from 2 years ago, on firefox 4 stating this issue, but it was never answered on what the cause was.

Firefox Posted October 23, 2013 ID:745532 Share Posted October 23, 2013 It could be that some sites such as mail sites just refresh on there own. They do this so that they can refresh the page to see if any new email has come in, read or deleted and such. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted October 23, 2013 Root Admin ID:745535 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yes, this has been around forever now and surprised you're only now noticing it. I've never bothered to try and track down the real cause myself I've basically sort of gotten used to it I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I asked if anyone had any idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noknojon Posted October 23, 2013 ID:745580 Share Posted October 23, 2013 This was more common in XP etc. and my (any) windows 7 and on seems to not do it as much. You can set Refresh rate, but I always just considered it "normal" to have "something" happenIf not I will often Refresh a page (F5 or right click) from boredom .........
