“Don't you hate it when you click on a link to a story and spend 5 mins reading it to come back and "like" it only to find it has been refreshed and is now no longer where you just recently clicked it.”

Totally. There's a workaround: click on "Comment" so it opens a text box. It disables the auto-refresh mechanism. - Mark Trapp
Friendfeed needs less workarounds. I love it but I shouldn't have to click comment in order to know I can interact with the story after I read it or open a text editor in order to fully express my thoughts on a post. - Occasional Headbanger
@Mark Thanks! - Tai
click "More", right-click "Link to this entry", select "Open Link In Background Tab" - Peter
sometimes I just make a stupid comment to keep it in the sphere of myself. not sure how to overcome this issue - ⓃⓄⒶⒽ ⒹⒶⓋⒾⒹ ⓈⒾⓂⓄⓃ
yes this is obnoxious. I won't Like something until I've looked at it in full context. perhaps FF could have a bookmarklet or control overlay that you could use on followed links? - Jon Price
yes, please allow for a) sticky messages and b) sticky tabs (between sessions). this would be a huge improvement of my FF experience! - Benedikt Koehler
Something along the lines of the following might work?: onclick: stoprefreshing, onscroll: startrefreshcountdown... mightn't be so good for those with high resolutions and no need to scroll. Alternatively onblur/onfocus might work as well. - Tai
Something like the pause capability of FriendFeedSpy would do AOK - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
One could also click on 'More / Link to this entry' - It depends on how many open tabs you're comfortable with. - Opensource Obscure
I'd rather friendfeed didn't use auto-refresh. If I want auto-refresh, I can activate it on my browser tab. - Peter
I too would like to disable auto-refresh. I can refresh it myself when I'm ready. - Morton Fox
I wish there's a play/pause (for auto-refresh) like http://www.friendfeedspy.com - AJ Batac
