How to enable automatic refresh in JIRA agile boards

Question

We have recently migrated to the new Kanban board in JIRA 6.3. I've noticed that when someone else modifies a ticket, the board view updates automatically on my Chromium / Ubuntu 13.10, but not on my Chrome / Win 7 or Firefox / Ubuntu 14.04. All I get is a pop up in the bottom right prompting me to refresh the page.

What's the mechanism controlling the refresh? I would like automatic refresh enabled across all my platforms.

I just updated my Ubuntu 13.10 to 14.04, and the auto refresh no longer works.

I am having this exact issue in Work mode. The same agile board is able to auto refresh on some browser/OS combinations but not others. I'm wondering if there's some browser setting I need to tweak to make it work?

This has been partially implemented in JIRA Agile. So far, the auto refresh is working on the Work mode ( see this feature request ). There is a separate feature request to keep track the progress on the Plan Mode alone.
