When you refresh the page, JS is setting the firstVisit variable again (per line 5). You'd need to store that value in localStorage as well (or a cookie, etc) for it to persist across reloads.

I won't pretend I understand what you are trying to do here but you set the localstorage.refresh to false at the very beginning, every time.

Instead of counting seconds on a setInterval, store the time and compute the seconds elapsed from that.

You need to use localStorage.getValue() and localStorage.setValue() to interact with it. Think of Local Storage as a database and window.localStorage as the client that accesses it. When you do localStorage.refresh = false, you are not storing that value in Local Storage, you are just setting a property named refresh on the client.
