Thanks.  I have this working now.  I added Tab Mix Plus 0.5.0.3 and checked
"Reload Tab Every" in both the Tab Context Menu and the Main Context Menu.
Re adding Tab Mix Plus, I agreed to disable the ReloadEvery plugin (although
ReloadEvery's settings still show under about:config).

During installation, a message said, "Firefox 57 drops support for all legacy
add-ons include Tab Mix Plus.  From Firefox 57 onwards, Firefox will not
install Tab Mix Plus.  It is currently unclear when Tab Mix Plus as a
WebExtension will be ready."  I'll worry about that when it happens.

Thanks again.
