How can I make my homepage automatically refresh at a certain interval? I really like how gmail pretty much constantly is checking to see if I have new mail and I'd like for my iGoogle page to be similar (since I pretty much always leave it up)

Well.....the Add-on looked sweet. Alas, no function yet for the newest Firefox:(
