I really find it strange (and disappointing) that, in spite of my bringing this up a few times, at different moments, nobody ever gave a REAL reply. I hope that now, with a few more people complaining about this issue, it will be taken seriously and tackled once and for all.

I can say that in Firefox, there is a setting to stop the browser from refreshing. I don't know what effect the setting has on structures such as carousels. Nor do I know if what is going on has the same or a similar cause because I don't know what is being described as refreshing in today's message. If you use firefox, in the main window, press alt, then press t, wait a moment then o. Tab once after waiting a moment. down arrow to advanced. If you get stuck partway down the list, up arrow then continue down again to get you unstuck. Once you get to advanced, start tabbing. You will see a check box about notifying you if Firefox is being redirected or refreshing a page. That isn't the exact wording but it's there and my description should allow you to kno it. Check the check box. There is no ok button. Continue using firefox now. Or close it if you wish. You may find that you get one such message when a page wants to do something and nothing more during that session of working on the page. You don't have to worry about closing such messages. They don't block anything and will be replaced automaticaally with future messages. As far as commercial screen-readers are concerned, while they have features to stop refreshes, I don't know if they work in all cases. I have found times in the past when the JAWS feature didn't work when confronted by some kinds of page refreshes.

Hello Davy,
I started this topic more than once, and even last week or ten days ago. I was told that "I was describing a way Firefox behaves on my machine", and that if this had been a problem for more people than myself, there would be ah uge number of messages on this (or soemthing to that ilk).
Clearly, this is an issue that NVDA should find a way of solving, one way or another. This constant refiesching of webpages is nnoying, and prevents one from working correctly.
Other screen readers have a way of blocking this, so it MUST be possible.
I'd hate to have to go back to commercial screen readers because of this issue, because more and moe web pages seem to be employing this horrible technology (Carousels, or whatever they call them).
Thanks for beinging this up again. Hopefully, since there are now tro of us, someone will take a minute to look into this. Ciao, Ollie

Hi folks Is there a way in nvda that one can prevent pages from being constantly refreshed? In my professional sr Cobra I have a shortcut s in virtual mode so that pags become static and focus won’t jump to the
front of it. Regards Davy
