Default OT Firefox automatic refresh?

I know this is an XP group but I always see such good advice here I thought
I'd ask.

Is there any way to make Firefox automatically refresh, let's say every 10
ot 15 minutes? I know it's only one click to get a refesh but I'm lazy.

TIA

Ken,

Is there any way to make Firefox automatically refresh,
let's say every 10 ot 15 minutes? I know it's only one
click to get a refesh but I'm lazy.


HTML does have way of auto-refreshing a webpage:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8...n-html-using-m
eta-tags

The only thing you need to do is to use an ad-on like greasemonkey

https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefo.../greasemonkey/

to inject such a command in the webpage(s) of your choice.

Hope that helps,

Regards,
Rudy Wieser

I wish there was a way to automatically clear all cache, cookies, and so
on in newer versions of FF. In older versions I could click on "TOOLS"
and CLEAR HISTORY (some such wording). Now I have to go into TOOLS /
OPTIONS / and several more levels of crap to get there.... Pain in the
ass, when I like to clear everything at least once an hour....

Look for an add-on.

This is the first one I could find.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...-cache-button/

You can also do it with external tools, like
maybe CCleaner or BleachBit. For one of those,
it's best to have the browser shut down, when you
apply it. The button idea seems a lot better, because
it doesn't interfere with your train of thought.

And cleaning is a complex subject, because browsers
are getting more and more complicated, and there
are storage facilities in the browser that are
unaffected by "clear cache".
