Firefox Page auto refresh is disabled, how do I enable it?

more options

Tesco use Auto Refresh when you are in a Q for booking a slot for deliveries/click and collect, my page does not auto refresh, I get a message informing me that Firefox has prevented the page from reloading. I can't find a tab in settings/options which will allow the page to reload/refresh. I am running Windows 7. Any ideas?

There used to be an option for this in the regular Firefox window, but it doesn't appear to be there anymore.

However, if you go to the about:config page in Firefox and set the accessibility.blockautorefresh preference to false that should get rid of the automatic reload blocking. You may need to restart Firefox for the changes to be applied.

Hope this helps.
