Is this a strain on your browser. In trying to keep up with the stock market, and I'm continually having to refresh manually.

What do you mean by this? What stock market?

Is this a strain on your browser

Also, do you mean slowing it down?

Yes to both, Dow Jones, S&P, Nasdaq to be more precise. You're not one of those that likes to ask a lot of questions just to have something to do are you?

So you want to keep refreshing a web page?

There is a firefox add-on to do this, pretty neat (I have it).

BTW, I downloaded Foxfire and it did the same thing. I contacted my support forum to see what's happening.

When I look at my board (site) with FF, it doesn't have a 3 dimensional look like it should.
