Tabs constantly refreshing by themselves.

Some of my tabs seem to constantly refresh themselves. This really doesn't cause much of an issue as it more of an annoyance. Inactive tabs randomly -some more often than others- refresh causing a little moving box to replace the tab's icon (seemingly similar to a windows hourglass) and giving them a green edge instead of the normal blue (I guess as a way of saying I haven't looked at them.) This just seems to be happening with the tabs though as the pages aren't actually reloading (a manual reload is still necessary to reveal any updates on the page.) I tried setting the "reload every" to "never" for some of the pages doing this and it has no effect. If not for the little moving box and tab's color change I wouldn't even notice.

Thanks

The best I can see is if you mean Preferences>Advanced>History>Check Documents - Every 5 minutes/Check Images - Every 5 hours.

I actually have one of my tabbed pages set to reload every half hour and that works like it should showing the same "working" icon on the tab then turning green once it has refreshed like the others (only the others aren't actually being refreshed.) Earlier I had a couple tabs doing it every 10-15 seconds or so and have since stopped. As I type this I have a different tab doing it every 45 seconds to a minute.
