Goes to another page instead of refreshing #133

Hello, This extension is a great idea, but I had difficulties in using it in a particular configuration. In my webmail I should like to refresh the list of mails received, in order to be alerted of a new message. Unfortunately, when Tab-reloader refreshes, that displays the details of the first message, and causes the sound alert to be played. Whereas when I manually depress F5, this really re-displays the list of messages. Does the extension send any keystroke other than to refresh ? I precise that all pages displayed had the same URL. Il is possible that the server has unexpected reactions if it receives the URL again. In case it helps, it is managed by SmarterMail. Is there an option to statically refresh ? As you would obtain by F5 ... A few experiences with history.go() (after refresh) did not seem obvious.

Do you get the same behavior when pressing the browser refresh button? Have you tried "Use Cache while reloading" option?

Hello, I have got to remember the exact context. As I changed my machine two times, I did not reinstall the same extensions. I am going to reinstall Tab Reloader for a few tests. At first reading, I should say that F5 refreshes the browser. It is not sure that the version of SmarterMail is the same now. I am going to have a look at the options. You mean it is an option of Tab Reloader I presume?
