Steps to reproduce:

An cli-option called 'reload' would be very useful for me.

firefox --reload url

This would reload all tabs with the given url.

Expected results:

I would use it to enhance my latex-workflow. Currently I am opening firefox with the latex-pdf-file besides my latex-editor. Whenever I recompile my latex document I would like that the pdf-site which is displayed in firefox would be also reloaded to show the new and update content of the document. Currently, I need to reload the side manually. This would be also useful for web-designers to always view the updated version of their website which they are currently developing.

Hi,

I've chosen a component for this bug so that the developers may look at it. We'll await their answer. If you consider that there's another component that's more proper for this case you may change it.

Regards, Flor.

Preferably reload would open a new tab with the given url if the url isnt already open.
