## Description

Reload Pin does one job quietly: it retries the tab you choose until the page loads without an error.

Choose 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds—or 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Keep the tab pinned while retrying, reload immediately, or stop from the popup. Stop when this page loads without an error is selected by default.

Reload Pin stops only when its matching main-frame request completes with a 2xx status or cached 304. Unrelated navigations, network failures, and HTTP 4xx/5xx responses keep retrying. Firefox wake-up listeners receive main-frame lifecycle events, but unrelated events are ignored after checking only tab ID and request ID. Reload Pin reads neither the URL, headers, body, nor page content.

Schedules start only after you press Start retrying. Active settings stay in Firefox local extension storage so they can resume after restart. Closing a tab removes its schedule. Reload Pin has no accounts, analytics, telemetry, advertising network, remote code, content scripts, request modification, or external service.

One job. Done quietly.
