About this extension

The intention of this open-source add-on project is to provide a simple solution for users to reload tabs with time-intervals automatically. Besides, due to the facts that the source code of OTR is available in public and OTR uses minimum permissions for achieving goals, users are safe to use this add-on on the Firefox web browser.

Features:

* Reload tabs with custom time-intervals (by providing days, hours, minutes, and seconds).
* Reload tabs by bypassing cache (optional).
* Only minimum permissions are required (storage: for storing user's preferences, tabs: for managing tabs).

Developer comments

What Does Not Work:

Web pages that are using the POST method cannot be reloaded by OTR as the reload process will be blocked by a default popup dialog (asking for reloading confirmation).
