Firefox is not displaying the latest version of a web page!

When I open this web page with Safari, it doesn't display exactly the same information as when I open the page with Firefox.

Based on the missing information, I suspect that Firefox is displaying an OLD version of the page.

If so, what can I do to always have the most current page displayed???

Thanks

If this is a page you visit frequently, then Firefox may have cached an earlier version longer than the site anticipated. To temporarily bypass the cache, you can try one of the following:

Shift + click the reload button
Command + Shift + r (on Windows: Ctrl + Shift + r)

Does that retrieve the latest version? If so, caching is the issue. If not, there must be some other explanation.

Oooops... I guess we won't know right away if that is the problem: when I went to open the page in question, it now displays the correct (and most current) information...

Sounds that the old cache content has expired (one day?) and that Firefox reloaded the page from the server.
