Do you mean the entire page is refreshing?

Indeed, if I’m fast enough I can maybe select the preferences page but it just keeps refreshing exactly like I was spamming the refresh page button. I don’t think I’ve ever really encountered this behaviour before.
Also, telling Firefox to stop has no effect, it just continues spam refreshing regardless.
I’m glad I’m not alone with this, it just happened to me and I was really confused. Same behavior as you described on kevin.rocks on iPad, using Firefox and Safari. As soon as I logged in, I was thrown into a loop that refreshes the page every second.
Do I understand you correctly, other instances don’t behave like this? In that case I will probably go elsewhere until someone finds a solution.
Edit: that’s not supposed to be a threat or tantrum, I’m just considering workarounds.
It was working fine with another instance until today, when it was starting to do its refresh spam on rafo.tech but I reset private data which actually fixed it and I could log in fine.
This time I joined via the Firefox homepage shortcut. Which may have something to do with it?
