Additional Information:

@pcDependency,
Do you see this happen for any page you’re on or only when doing this for specific sites? If so, what is the commonality between the sites?

It is not a website issue, this issue happens on all websites for me, therefore it is a browser issue entirely. This issue does not happen with any other browser, such as chrome.

@pcDependency,
Do you have any extensions installed at this time? Additionally, can you try testing this by creating a new temp. browser profile and see if you observe the same behavior?

@pcDependency,
Can you please try disabling your extensions and test to see if you get the same behavior? I imagine that with all extensions disabled, you will not see the refresh.

yes, I disabled all relevant extensions that could cause this bug. I haven’t had the issue since then, but I will let you know.

@pcDependency,
I figured it would be one of them causing the issue – You can also re-enable them one at a time until you find the offending extension.
