Firefox is refreshing all pages of one website only and adding # to end of URL - what may be causing this?
In my workplace, I am using Firefox version 5.0.1 on Windows XP. When accessing any pages on the following website http://www.sqa.org.uk (this is my workplace's website), the pages refresh approximately every 30 seconds to a minute, and a # sign gets added to the end of the URL in the address bar.
This doesn't happen on any other websites, but it also doesn't happen with any colleagues who also have the same version of Firefox. I've disabled extensions, had Firefox removed then reinstalled, but the problem just keeps occurring.
Have you any ideas?

Thanks very much - clearing the cookies helped, I don't know why I didn't think of that. :)
You're welcome.
