I'm using Firefox Kiosk Mode on an Ubuntu 24.04 desktop with Dashboard 2. When I leave it open for hours, the dashboard doesn't refresh (it freezes). Is there a way to refresh it automatically?

I open Firefox as a service:

```auto
[Unit]
Description=Abrir Firefox en modo kiosk
After=graphical-session.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/firefox --window-size=1920,1080 --kiosk --window-position=0,0 http://IP/dashboard/page1>
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
Environment=XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

```

Which version of the dashboard are you using? Check in Palette Manager. Also, which version of node red?

What hardware are you running on?

I've noticed this issue too since updating to dashboard 2. Dashboard becomes unresponsive on Chrome. Haven't tried it on other browsers.
