[[FEATURE REQUEST!]]

for webdevelopment by generating code it would be useful to be able to make firefox reload one or all pages by a -remote command invoked by a local script.

E.g.

firefox -remote "reopenurl(http://www.mozilla.org)"

would be like "openurl" if the url is not open yet, otherwise it would just reload the url in the same window(s)/tab(s).

Reproducible: Always

That would be an additional command line which is outside of shell integration. Since Firefox doesn't have a component for command line handling moving to general for further triage

Reloading a page from a script can be done using the location.reload() method in JavaScript.Here's an example code snippet: This code will wait for 5 seconds using setTimeout() and then reload the current page using location.reload(). https://i-m4.net/ You can also trigger a page reload using an event, for example, clicking a button. Here's an example: This will create a button that, when clicked, will reload the current page using location.reload().
