Allow site to automatically reload?
I just updated to FF 32.0 for OS X and realized that I don't know how to set it to allow certain sites to automatically reload the page. Where is the setting for this? The instructions that I saw in my search are multiple years and many versions out of date.

See:
- Firefox > Preferences/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

Thank you, cor-el! That's exactly what I was looking for. Now, bonus question: Is it possible to allow only certain sites to refresh, or is it all or nothing?
It is all or nothing, because it is meant for users with disabilities.
