Firefox definitely prefers to use cached pages when it can, so that might explain it.

Do you get new pages if you either:

• Reload using Ctrl+r
• Reload bypassing cached files using Ctrl+Shift+r

Hi Jefferson

Many thanks - problem solved with either method.

The question which now arises - what will happen with other people encountering my web pages? will they now get the latest version?

Hi Roy, that's hard to say.

For visitors who don't have any pages from the site cached, they should get only what is currently available. You can emulate this by opening a new private window (assuming you aren't currently using a private window) and visiting your site in that window.

For return visitors, what is supposed to happen is if your website sent a "last modified" date along with the page, Firefox should ask the server whether there is an update before displaying the cached version. This is very hard to test, of course, because it's hard to simulate going back in time...

Thanks Jefferson

Hopefully your trick will have kicked Mozilla into behaving well for all visitors to the pages.
