Refreshly Firefox

Refreshly

Auto-refresh any tab on a schedule — hard reload, XHR, or click. Alerts you when a name you choose appears on the page.

Features & Capabilities

AutoRefresher automatically reloads any webpage on a schedule you set — full reload, a quiet background refresh with no visible flicker, or auto-clicking a button you choose. It can also alert you the moment specific text appears on the page.

FEATURES • Three refresh modes: Full reload (standard page refresh), Quiet refresh (updates the page's data in the background without a visible reload — ideal for dashboards or feeds), and Click mode (automatically clicks a button or link you pick, e.g. a "check for updates" or "refresh" button on the page itself). • Custom interval — set any refresh rate in seconds or minutes. • Text alerts — type a name, price, or phrase to watch for, and get a desktop notification the instant it appears on the page. Optionally scope the search to just one part of the page (like a single list or table) instead of the whole document. • Per-site memory — your interval, mode, and alert settings are remembered separately for each website. • Simple popup UI — no separate settings page, no account, no sign-up.

PRIVACY AutoRefresher runs entirely in your browser. It doesn't collect, transmit, or sell any data — nothing you type or browse is sent to any server.

Great for auction sites, ticket/stock drops, dashboards, order-status pages, or any site that doesn't auto-update on its own.

Is Refreshly 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.

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

Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

Refreshly is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
