Does anyone here know how to disable the reload button in Firefox? This is for a web-based enterprise application with protected access. I couldn't find anything on the web so far. Thanks for your help
I doubt you can, that would be poor design anyway. If reloads bother you, let the app do its thing and then before outputting anything, redirect the page so refreeshing doesn't load the POST/GET stuff again.
do you mean from within the application? I'm pretty sure that's impossible. Besides, even if you could disable the button, people can still just push f5
If you actually mean to disable it "from within the application", well, then that's a pretty easy thing to do. Just right-click on the button area, choose "Customize..." and simply drag the reload button out of the way. And that's it !! tayiper
thanks guys for your input - it is a enterprise application making heavy use of Ajax for immediate updating. When Reload button is pressed the actual content will be lost and it'll start from scratch, which is not desired. We can disable the F5 button. We'd also like to disable the Reload button so it is not active and cannot be clicked anymore. The "workaround" of removing the button as suggested by tayiper is not feasible, since there will be many users (freelancers) accessing the app from various locations and we do not have control over how they setup their FF. Redirecting as suggested by TOPS30 is an option, but suboptimal. Any clues?
