 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
Mine has this too. I'm using a stock FF 9.0.1 without any reload add-on.

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
My stock 9.01 does not have this. It is a manual reload. It is from the standard Mepis repos. I have not seen any stock FF have an automatic timed reload.

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
I know you're an Engineer rickb, but I did not say it was an automatic Reload. Just that it was a right-click away. Those of us who do not use a keyboard use right-click menus all the time. I'd never thought of a need for automatically reloading a page before this subject came up. I still don't see much usefulness for me for that feature.

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
My last response was to Joany, I was curious how she got that feature on a stock Firefox. I understand your post. For me it is useful as I have the laptop sitting next to me while I am watching television. A glance without reaching for the keyboard or mouse, lets me know if an update has occurred. I am not suggesting everyone needs it.

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
Hadn't thought of that use rich. I usually set down at the computer desk and....compute. When finished I logout here and lock the Desktop. I have a brother-in-law that does as you do I think. At least his Apple Laptop is on a table beside his easy chair. He's big on a social media site (among others I'm sure).

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
In the Firefox about:config look at the 'accessibility.autoblockrefresh' setting. Mine is set to 'false'. My 'services.sync.prefs.sync.accessibility.autoblockfrefresh' setting is set to 'true'. My 'extensions.tabutils.menu.context_reloadEvery' setting is set to 'true'.
I'm not sure these settings are important, but they may be.

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
Same here. Are you sure that one of your other addons does not have that as a feature? For example Tab Mix Plus has an auto reload feature.

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
I'm using FF 9.01 and Nightly from the Moz tarballs. I've never seen an automatic reload feature until yesterday when I installed ReloadEvery after Rich mentioned it. The only extensions I had previously were NoScript and Adblock Plus.

 Re: Does the forum index page update automatic ?
You're right! When I disabled Tab Mix Plus, the menu item disappeared.
