I'm using the Firefox secure password generator. However, I notice that will generate a specific password for a given site and then if I for some reason reload, it'll generate the same password again. Can I force a new one?

When I want to create a password, I just place my fingers on the keyboard and randomly press a dozen keys. I then go back and add upper/lower/number/symbol.
