Tab Auto Refresh
Automatically refresh tabs based on custom time intervals
Tab Auto Refresh - Convenient Firefox Add-on
Tab Auto Refresh is an incredibly handy Firefox add-on designed to enhance your browsing experience. It automatically reloads your chosen tabs at your specified time intervals. Not only can you set the interval for each tab individually, but you can also manage all reloading tasks at once. Furthermore, the reloading is based on tab URL making it super efficient. Looking to stop or reset the current 'reload' task? Just press the 'stop' or 'reset' buttons respectively in the toolbar popup UI! Moreover, any bugs can easily be reported on the addon's homepage.

Perfect, at least for my needs, 5 stars.
+ No interval limitations as with other similar addons.
+ No nonsense features.
+ No nonsense permissions.
I was tempted to give 4 stars due to a distracting little thing: the counter - please make it optional.
