Basic code snippet to refresh the page on a browser resize using JavaScript.

//refresh page on browser resize
$(window).bind('resize', function(e)
{
  console.log('window resized..');
  this.location.reload(false); /* false to get page from cache */
  /* true to fetch page from server */
});

If window.location.reload() not working in Firefox then try the following.

//refresh page on browser resize
$(window).bind('resize', function(e)
{
  if (window.RT) clearTimeout(window.RT);
  window.RT = setTimeout(function()
  {
    this.location.reload(false); /* false to get page from cache */
  }, 200);
});
