There are times when you refresh a webpage (or two) every few seconds. It might be the result of a soccer match, or live updates on an event of global importance. There might also be tech events like SXSW, where you want to auto-refresh Twitter pages of participants.
Reload Firefox tabs
Reload Every is a Firefox addon that does just that: reload tabs according to timing of your choice. You can set Reload every to refresh pages at intervals of 5 seconds to 15 minutes or a custom time. Reload Every can refresh all or chosen tabs in Firefox.
It is a lightweight extension, with not even a configuration pane (all you need to do is click and hold the refresh button to get the drop down menu). It works for all versions of Firefox, from the antiquated version 1.5 to the latest (3.0.7 as of writing).
