Features & Capabilities

This extension prevents websites from automatically refreshing or reloading, so you can browse without interruptions. It’s especially useful for reading long articles, forums, or social media feeds where unexpected refreshes can make you lose your place.

In addition to blocking auto-refresh behavior, the extension automatically saves your exact scroll position on each page. If the page reloads for any reason—whether intentional or accidental—you’ll be returned to the exact spot you were viewing, down to the pixel. No more scrolling back and trying to find where you left off.

The extension works quietly in the background and requires minimal setup. It is lightweight, fast, and designed to stay out of your way while improving your browsing experience. Whether you're researching, studying, or casually browsing, this tool helps you stay focused and in control.

Key features include:

Blocks automatic page refresh and reload triggers Saves and restores precise scroll position Works across most modern websites Lightweight with no noticeable performance impact Simple, user-friendly design with no clutter

Perfect for anyone who’s tired of losing their place due to unexpected page refreshes.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Stop Auto-Refresh Anchor requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.
