Safari keeps reloading previous page

When I click on a link Safari starts loading it or fully loads it then jumps back to the previous page.

It also sometimes jumps to another tab. I am not using a track pad and I don't get this issue in other browsers.

Also when I am in the middle of editing a page in a content management system, when I look at another page and go back to the one I'm editing it reloads and I lose the changes.

Appreciate any suggestions.

I use grouped tabs.

OS Catalina 10.15.7

Safari 15.2

Please try this.

Force Quit Safari, launch Safari holding the Shift key down.

WARNING.

Not sure what this is supposed to accomplish, I've been having trouble for the last few days with several webpages loading half way, then stopping and restarting, with Safari freezing. A restart and zap PRAM cleans it up for a few minutes, but an OS reinstall did nothing, Disk repair did nothing. So, I tried this piece of advice and lost ALL of my previously opened windows, with no effect on the problem. Just spent a half hour trying to find and recreate all of those previous pages, some available through my history, but not all.
