Comment (by cypherpunks):

 This seems to be a security threat in my point of view, too.

 "accessibility.blockautorefresh = True" works well for most web sites (one
 example is Twitter's URL shortener) without causing too much interference.
 What about changing this setting in Secure or High Secure mode only?
