I don’t know how many sites I checked before I found your helpful instructions. It was driving me crazy – I was changing settings in the widget section of WordPress and every time I checked the page no changes had been made. Have bookmarked your site for any future help I may need.
Many, many thanks.

Many Many Thanks! After our Company updated its website we received several complaints from people who continued to see the old site, myself included. I was appointed to find out why.
I knew IE had the command so was surprised not to find it in Firefox.
I cannot see why anyone would want to see an obsolete version.
Anyway thanks for providing the solution.

I also offer my thanks to the author for this tip. I think the Firefox development team have lost the plot not having this option easily selectable in options.

Carl,

I know! It drove me insane, too.

Have you used Google Chrome at all? Chrome has very few user-configurable cache options (related to expiration) but I've never had a caching issue… I guess it's just smart that way?

Love me some Chrome!

At last! This has been bugging me for awhile. I almost switched back to IE because of this cache issue, what a relief!

Web designers are only interested in the newest page. As most web designers, use Firefox it should be one of the easiest things to adjust. Can't believe IE has one over on FF.

Thanks very much i had been hunting for weeks for a solution. Why this feature was removed from current / recent versions i have no idea.

It was really annoying as i have to upload picture to my company's server and every time the page reloaded the old page, manual refresh and off we go again and again and again….

Thank you
