Question

What is the difference between an F5 (refresh) of a page and pasting that URL in a new window and clicking enter?

Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

When you hit refresh (F5) the browser will ask you e.g. if you want to also send POST request (for example if you previously entered some data on a form). If you paste url and press enter you won't be able to resend mentioned POST data.
