Review summary

Most reviewers are positive, praising reliability and the free nature of the add-on. However, recurring issues include limited timer customization, memory leaks, instability with tab handling, and problems stopping continuous refresh. A common request is preserving scroll position after reload. Addressing timing options and stability would improve the experience for heavy tab-refresh users.

Pros

Reliable functionality with many users saying it 'just works' and noting it performs as described.
Easy to use despite its feature set.
Free add-on with good value for users who need automatic tab refreshing.

Cons

Timer customization is limited (minimum 10 seconds; few time options).
Memory leak has been reported by users.
Cannot reliably stop constant refresh as claimed; some users experience ongoing refreshes.
Tabs/website tabs can be dropped or cause restarts, leading to instability.
Scroll position is not preserved after reload; users want to stay at the same page location.

2026-05-20	To*****	The Tab Reloader does a really good job. But since few weeks it doesn't reload the tab with has focus anymore. The add-on says: "realoading skipped; window is focused". It's a shame that reloading doesn't work anymore when window/tab is focused. Would be great if this would work again.
