Summary

Tab Auto Refresh is a browser addon that helps you automatically reload (refresh) tabs of your choice.

To operate with this addon, please open toolbar popup UI while you are visiting a website. Adjust time interval in seconds (i.e. 120 sec) and you are all set. Selected tab will be reloaded based on the interval you just set.

Please note reloading occurs based on tab URL not tab ID or domain. If you want to stop the current "reload" task, please press on the "stop" button at top left corner in toolbar popup UI. Alternatively you can set the interval to 0 which is equal to stop function.

If you have many tabs reloading and do not want to visit each tab to clear the reloading task, please open toolbar popup UI and press on the "reset" (top right) button to do so. This button serves as a global reset button and clears the reloading task for all tabs.

To report bugs, please visit addon's homepage (https://mybrowseraddon.com/tab-auto-refresh.html) and fill the bug report form.

Working great!

This will refresh my inbox, and stop when I go into an email and start composing a reply. Then when I go back to my inbox, it starts refreshing again. It's perfect!
