I want one page to refresh using meta refresh but not to allow others. Can I do this or do I have to use another browser for this page?

I'm using <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300"> in a local file to refresh a cloud based stats page for temperature sensors in my home. Firefox prevents this page from automatically reloading and I need to click on "Allow".

I can see where I can allow all sites to refresh/redirect my browser (Options>Advanced>General) but I would like to stop all other pages and just allow mine to refresh. Is there such a way, or do I need to use another browser for this non-standard page?

Thanks in advance, Steve
