[Bug 1630195] [NEW] Pages are reloaded continuously, making the website useless

[Uqbar]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Firefox on "www.hpe.com". You will be redirected to a localized
web page. Mine is "https://www.hpe.com/it/it/home.html"

2. Try to click on the video link on the top of the page or any of the
links in the top bar like "Solutions", "Services", "Products", "About".

Expexted results:
Normal(tm) browsing experience

Actual results:
You cannot jump to the linked web pages unless you are fast enough. The web page(s) are reloaded about once every 5 seconds. In case the page is long, you don't have time to read or scroll it.

It happens:
Always on this web site

It doesn't happen:
By using Microsoft Edge browser (on a windows machine)
