## Description

Facebook Auto-Refresh Blocker helps you keep your place in the Facebook feed. When you switch to another tab or leave Facebook for a while, Facebook often refreshes the page and moves you away from the post you were reading. This add-on prevents that automatic feed refresh, so you can return to the same place and continue where you left off.
