I am a web designer and every time I make changes I have to clear my history to see the changes. Is there a setting I can change to fix this?

You need to change the cache settings on your web page, if you don't want Firefox to cache your page.

The easiest way to do this is to use a tag for the cache-control header. You can search Google to find tutorials: http://www.google.com/search?q=cache-control+meta+tag

* Press  Ctrl  +  F5  or press  Shift  +  Ctrl  +  R  (Windows,Linux)
