You can still use the add on. All you have to do is open the context menu on the pages you run radio stations from and authorize the scripts to run. It can take a while to get the scripts you need on many pages authorized so things run smoothly, but it can be done. The only problem I encountered is that when you authorize youtube to play videos, the autocomplete feature that makes the autorefresh problem occur comes back, so I only temporarily authorize youtube when I want to play a video and revoke the permissions if I need to do another search, a bit clumsy, but I couldn't find any combination of scripts that attempt to run on the page that allowed video playback but did not bring back the auto suggestion feature.

With a bit of effort, you can get the pages you visit regularly going with the scripts needed for the features you use allowed and other scripts forbidden. For example, it took me a bit to figure out which script on io9.com allowed post comments to show, but once I figured it out, the comments show up and the page loads faster without a lot of jumping back to the top of the page. No Script is not an install and go add on, it takes some setup work, but I have found it worth every bit of effort.

Thinking that by adding the add-on No Script would help mitigate the spontaneous auto-loading of firefox, I installed No Script. I did not give it enough time to know if it was accomplishing anything because of its drawbacks for my situation. My radio stations that I had bookmarked would no longer play, so, I removed No Script. I did make the suggested change to Google preferences by checking the radio button "do not provide query suggestions in the search box." That seems to be working in Google using Firefox.
