URL Configuration

Auto Refresh works by targeting a specific URL. By default, it picks up the URL of the current active tab, but you can also specify a URL manually.

How to Enter a URL

The URL of the current page is automatically filled in the URL input field. If you wish to set a refresh for a different page, you can simply type or paste the new URL into this field.

URL Format Requirements

  • The URL must be a valid and accessible web address.
  • Both HTTP (e.g., `http://example.com`) and HTTPS (e.g., `https://example.com`) protocols are supported.
  • Local file paths (e.g., `file:///C:/Users/user/document.html`) are also supported for local development and testing.

Using Auto Refresh with File URLs

To enable auto refresh on file:// protocol pages, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on the Auto Refresh Page extension icon in the browser toolbar.
  2. Select Manage Extension.
  3. Enable the option Allow access to file URLs (see screenshot below).

Troubleshooting URL Issues

If the extension is not refreshing the page, first check if the URL in the input box exactly matches the URL of the tab you want to refresh. Mismatches in `www`, path details, or query parameters can cause issues. Ensure there are no typos.
