Continuous reloading of site with blocked elements

[mhguda]

Hi,
Some forum sites I visit have some scripts I want to block, but not all.
I find that when I visit there, the page keeps reloading and scrolling back to the top, making the page almost impossible to read.
I want to be able to read such pages without having to give blanket permission for scripts, but I can't find how to do it.
It makes visiting such pages very unpleasant and sometimes I can't read a topic at all!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks. Do I have to restart the browser? I've tried it in the current session, but it seems to make no difference. The page is still reloading.

Edited to add:
I think I may have found a working combination: I have installed and enabled Adblock and it is blocking some ads. I think the ads must have been reloading every minute or so, and causing the whole page to reload? It's now finally stable. So thanks!

Most likely you will need to create a surrogate script to either provide the functionality you need, or block what you don't want. To do that, we'll need to examine the page and see what is running.
