Prior Firefox versions had a setting to refresh the web page on re-entry. That is, if I visit a URL previously visited or found in cache, should Firefox refresh from the web or just display using data already in cache. I cannot find this option in current version. This is very convenient in dealing with bothersome Google Ads; many take so much time to refresh / load.

You have two options;

1) Load the web page. Then, to reload the page bypassing the cache and force a fresh retrieval; Ctrl+Shift+R (Mac=Command+Shift+R)

2) Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

Hi, Opt #2 is there. Please Copy/Paste about:preferences#privacy to the Address Bar then Enter. At the Heading of History it is the very 1st line. Firefox will : (then you select). You may want to try a add blocker like Ublock Origin or Ghostery to avoid the ads. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/extensions/ You can also use keywords like cache and refresh and see if there are any other things that may help you out.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
