Session Alive Add-On for Firefox: Avoid Session Timeouts

'Session Alive' is a Firefox extension designed to keep your session active on any website - helping you to avoid automatic logouts due to session timeouts. With this add-on, webpages are reloaded in the background, thereby keeping the user session active even when you are not doing any activities on the website. It supports Multi-Account Containers and provides options for both background and foreground page reloading. Moreover, the rule for page reload can be manually stopped by the user or automatically stopped based on server responses. This add-on also offers advanced options for web programmers.
