This extension only works on tabs with http(s) URLs. Left clicking the toolbar icon with a button badge will reload the current page. URLs can be blacklisted through a tab's menu, right clicking the toolbar icon, or by selecting 'Options' for this extension.Ī button badge with the letter 'S' will appear over the toolbar icon if the active tab is being stopped from auto reloading. They will not work when focus is on the address bar, bookmark sidebar, etc. If a page with injected code is active, the reload shortcuts will only work in the context of the page.

It does not stop elements within a page from refreshing.Īny changes to blacklisted sites are only applied after a tab has been reloaded. This extension only stops reloads of the URL showing in a tab's address bar. Unless one of these shortcuts is pressed, this extension will block external attempts at reloading the tab. If there is a match, code will be injected into the tab's page to monitor the following keyboard shortcuts for reloading tabs: Ctrl+R, Ctrl+Shift+R, F5, and Ctrl+F5. Once a tab has completed loading, this extension will check to see if the tab's URL matches a blacklisted URL. This should include your: Bookmarks (stored in the places.sqlite file) Browsing and download history (stored in the places.sqlite file) Passwords and logins (stored in the key4.d b and logins. Once the Refresh has completed, Firefox will tell you what was imported. Unwanted reloads can also be a concern on a metered or slow internet connection.
