Some website pages are not allowed to automatically reload. I have to hit the Allow button to reload the page when it should be able to reload itself. How do I make automatic page reloading OK?

Chosen solution

Try this:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste access and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the accessibility.blockautorefresh preference has a value of true, double-click it to restore the default value of false

Success?
