Mac: reloading document in Chrome or Firefox?

Question

How can I tell Chrome or Firefox to reload the document in the top window? Here\'s what I\'m using for Safari:

osascript -e \'
    tell application \"Safari

I do not think Firefox or Chrome have special Applescript support, but you can send the keystrokes (Cmd-R) to refresh the page:

tell application "Firefox"
    activate
    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "r" using command down
end tell
