Is there a way to have a page refreshed automatically, say every 5 minutes?

There is a website that tracks the status of my solar array. I like to keep it open and would like it to refresh itself every 5 or 10 minutes, so I can just glance at it.

Chosen solution

accessibility.blockautorefresh in your about:config ...

The default is true but you may have it set to false, applies only if the page page is set up by the author to update automatically

I would suggest continuing to use "F5" Reload

I don't have any of the following but they would give you more control

The ReloadEvery add-on did the trick. Thanks!
