There is a web site I go to very frequently (work email via web) and I have to
press the "refesh" button to check for new mail.

I have no control/influence over the html code that gets created, so I can't get
the actual code changed. :-(

But I thought it would be very cool if the web BROWSER/client could insert the
meta tag to do a refresh every few minutes....

If there were a user option, similar to "allow pop-ups from" that allowed me to
set the url and the refresh rate...

Then, when Mozilla is getting that url, it could look insert the needed tag to
"refresh" before giving the "page" to the the part of the code that actually
renders and interprets all the page commands/tags.

It should be relatively simple, and low risk.
