Auto refresh page Firefox

Auto refresh page

This extension will refresh page automatically.

Features & Capabilities

Auto Refresh Page makes it easy to automatically reload the current tab or multiple matching tabs at customizable intervals. Configure predefined or custom timers (seconds, minutes, hours), enable random refreshes, perform hard refreshes that clear cache, and receive sound or popup notifications. The extension also supports file:/// pages, visual countdowns, and an option to stop after a set number of refreshes or by clicking the page.

Save and manage multiple refresh presets per page, auto-start a URL when the browser opens, import/export settings, and review or control refreshes across tabs. Free features are available with optional premium upgrades for advanced functionality. Minimum refresh time is 2 seconds. For support or feedback, contact the developer and leave a review to help improve the extension.

The best tool for auto-refreshing pages. Would be so perfect if it had a sound notification whenever the page updates.

Is Auto refresh page Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Auto refresh page requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
