How to force page refresh during reload

In an earlier version of Firefox, I was able to use Ctrl+F5 to force a reload of a page and see any changes that were made. This was no longer working, even after updating Firefox to the latest version (33.1.1; not sure what it was before the update). I also tried to clear the cache under Tools➞Options➞Privacy➞Clear your recent history➞Cache and that didn't even work. The workaround (as shown in screen capture) was to make a copy of the file being changed under a different name (index.html ➞ index2.html). (I also tried both with and without the "index.html" and both show the page as it was before the changes to the file.)

What is the current procedure to force a reload of a page and see the changes that have been made to the HTML file?

Thanks in advance.

It seems some Windows update has changed the way IIS caching works - it no longer sends the new page when it has been modified unless "User-mode caching" "Using file change notifications" has been turned on.

This is totally screwy. I think restarting the site in IIS Manager may have been what got the page to refresh before, but now no combination of F5 / Ctrl+F5 / restarting the web site in IIS / etc. after changing the file will get the page to update - even just adding some text to a heading, for example.
