Freeware to auto refresh / reload Win7's IE & Android's Firefox browsers
I have a need to quickly (usually within 2 mins) respond to a certain requests that come in thru a website
but this website often times out after about 5 mins & I have to relogin (which is a slow process).
Can point me where to obtain/download:
a) portable freeware that auto refresh (ie perform Ctrl-R) on an IE browser (for a specific tab as I may be
opening up multiple tabs)? Ideally it's not an installer, but just a standalone tool as I don't have the
admin privilege to install software.
Can a script running wget to download the page keep the page from timing out/logoff ?
b) a freeware (or low cost app) for Note 2's Android's Firefox browser (which also accesses) the same web site/page
but this website often times out after about 5 mins & I have to relogin (which is a slow process).
