bug DFL-812 - reloading the page when dragonfly is opened is harmful

DFL-812 - Dragonfly's default settings should not be to reload the page when it is opened. This is a harmful and annoying action.

Reproduce:

Start typing a reply to this post
Open dragonfly with default settings
Goodbye reply

Expected result:
Dragonfly should open and be useful.

Actual result:
All the changes you made to the DOM and page in general are lost.

We have already a bug about this, the general conclusion seems to be to revert the current default setting. Meanwhile to can disable 'Settings > Scripts > Reload documents automatically on selecting a window'.
