Google Messages for Web --- not updating

I've been using google messages for web in firefox for some time. I'd pair firefox and pin the tab. Works great. However, with a new laptop the messages for web tab/page will not auto update as it does on other computers and I have to manually reload the page for it to show the updated messages. I'm not sure the cause or settings that would be needed to allow it to query the server for rcs/sms updates.

Problem solved. Cache or something was the issue.

Further testing. It does update in a timely fashion in a private window. Disabling all addons does not fix the issue.
