What's this for? If I ever need auto-refresh I'll just install an addon or extension. I already can't remember the URL for this. Or if I don't have an addon installed, I could just write a Javascript one-liner in the javascript console.

Like I mentioned on the other comment, i agree that there are better solutions... but sometimes you just need a quick solution to use in the browser.

I, myself, hate plugins & having to copy/paste script or code. I just want to click a bookmark, do what I need to do, and get out. That's why I made this.

You know what'd be cool? If you made this into a plugin too! But then maybe you'd get a lot of "this already exists except better" comments. So maybe if you did that you could just let me know and everyone who's too cool can keep their useless negativity to needlessly criticize someone else.

Isn't a bookmark just as convenient as an addon? Especially with an omnibar/awesomebar?
