There are some websites which refresh themselves in a very short period. I want to disable this behavior.

The code that causes this problem is almost always following line:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="180"/>

I learned that some browser extensions can be used for this purposed; I was suggested to use Firebug. I installed it, but it became a little confusing to me.

Can you please instruct me how to remove the line above from "http://www.example.com" with Firebug (or with a different extension maybe)?

(My browser is Google Chrome.)

  • Use Javascript DOM manipulation in Firebug console to remove that element. – user79032 May 11 '12 at 14:41

This looks like a job for Greasemonkey ( or Tampermonkey if you're a Chrome user)
