How would you stop a page from refreshing automatically?


I have a problem when I am trying to check the source of an interesting page which keeps refreshing automatically every 3-5 seconds (presumably due to some js script) which resets my Inspect Element Inspector window every time the page is refreshed.

Is there any other way other to stop that page from refreshing or perhaps the Inspector window from resetting itself other than turning on NoScript to stop the page from refreshing automatically?

    In Firefox 74 this option is in Options -> Privacy & Security -> Permissions enter image description here

    Firefox has the option to prevent refresh natively, the option is in Advanced->General->Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the pageenter image description here
