How to stop webpages from autorefreshing?

hello

drudgereport.com has the annoying habit of refreshing / reloading itself every minute.

i am running FF quantum and cannot find anything in Tools to turn off autorefreshing.

how to stop autorefreshing?

There is an option in Firefox, but that will interfere with all other refreshes such as forum posts etc

There was a Legacy API and I wrote Refresh Blocker but sadly the API has not been provided in WebExtension.

that option no longer exists in ff quantum. though i did go into aboutconfig and set refreshblock to true

@caitlin I am still hoping someone will make the API so that I can update the addon for FF57+
