If the Start button in Auto Refresh Plus (ARP) is not working, it is usually due to configuration issues, missing permissions, or conflicts with other extensions.
How to Fix Start Button Issues
1. Check Browser Permissions
The extension requires proper permissions to control tabs.
- Make sure the extension is enabled
- Allow required permissions when prompted
- Reload the page after granting permissions
Without permissions, ARP cannot refresh or monitor pages.
2. Check for Conflicting Extensions
Some extensions may block or interfere with ARP.
- Disable other extensions one by one
- Test the Start button after each change
- Remove or replace any conflicting extension
3. Reinstall the Extension (If Needed)
A corrupted installation can cause issues.
Before reinstalling, export your settings:
👉 https://account.autorefresh.io/settings-profiles
Steps:
- Remove the extension
- Restart your browser
- Reinstall Auto Refresh Plus
- Import your saved settings
Why This Happens
Common reasons include:
- Missing permissions
- Conflicts with other extensions
- Corrupted installation
Summary
If the Start button is not working, check your interval settings, permissions, and possible extension conflicts. Reinstalling the extension can also resolve persistent issues.
