Do you have problems with displaying web pages that you need to use the refresh button or keyboard shortcut?

One normal (F5) or hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) should be sufficient and you may have to wait until the current refresh has finished.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

I'm not making refresh to display the page good ,i just want to make fast reload ,or in another word ,i wanna reload a page many times with just one press on F5 button ,i need that in a game i play ,so instead of clicking the refreshing button many time ,i just make it easier on myself by one long click on F5 which used to make many reloads to any page even without waiting to display it completely
