111861 - Allow user to toggle meta refresh behavior

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 83265

(SeaMonkey :: General, enhancement)

Description

[kmself]

Numerous websites use the "meta refresh" tag to automatically reload a browser
page at some designated time interval.  Two I'm aware of are
http://www.nytimes.com/ (900 seconds -- 15 minutes) and
http://www.fuckedcompany.com/ (600 seconds -- 10 minutes).  While the theory is
that the site designer feels the page should be periodically reloaded to ensure
current data, there are times when this is not desireable behavior -- say, over
a slow or intermittant link, or simply if the reader prefers not to reload pages
frequently.

I would like to see respecting the meta refresh tag be made discretionary, with
a readily accessible option to set this behavor for the user.

Note too that bugzilla's user-agent parsing is being stymied by Junkbuster.  I'm
actually running Galeon/Linux.
