About this extension
This plugin offers two main features:

Scheduled Refresh: You can define a precise time (in 24hr format) when the page refresh should begin auto-refreshing. The page will refresh initially at the specified time and will continue to refresh at intervals you define in seconds.

User Defined Refresh Count: You can determine how many times the page should refresh. The plugin will respect this limit and cease refreshing after the specified number of refreshes.

Additional features include:

Save your Settings: Your preferences for refresh time and frequency are saved for future use.
Easy Control: With the intuitive Start and Stop buttons, you can easily control the refresh function.
Status Display: Stay informed about the plugin's activity with the status display.

Whether you need to keep a live-feed updated or periodically check for changes on a static website, ScheduledSurfer is the perfect tool to simplify your browsing experience.

ScheduledSurfer User Manual

1. Accessing ScheduledSurfer Once installed, the ScheduledSurfer icon will be visible on your Firefox toolbar. Click on the icon to open the ScheduledSurfer menu.

2. Setting Up ScheduledSurfer The ScheduledSurfer menu contains options for setting up the refresh schedule:

b. Interval (Seconds): Specify the interval (in seconds) between each refresh.

4. Status Display The status display will keep you informed about the plugin's activity. It will show 'Started' when the refresh process is active and 'Stopped' when it is halted.
