I am using Firefox for Android. Hhow can I force reload a page so that Firefox ignores the content in the cache?

Firefox is not rendering http://news.google.com/ correctly (The page simply renders as a small blank rectangle). I want to force Firefox to force reload the page from the site instead of using the corrupted content in my cache. On the desktop I can do this by holding down the Shift key and selecting refresh from the menu.

Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache. The Firefox cache temporarily stores images, scripts, and other parts of websites while you are browsing.
Note: This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to. To clear cache and cookies, do the following:

  1. Tap the menu icon located at the top right corner. This is the icon with 3 bars. On older Android devices you'll have to press the hardware menu key and then tap More.
  2. Tap Settings.
  3. After that, you will be taken to the settings screen. In the settings screen, look under the section Privacy & Security and select Clear private data.
  4. You will then be taken to a list of what can be cleared. Select the following 2 for deletion:
    • Cookies & active logins
    • Cache
  5. After those have been selected, tap the Clear data button to actually clear the cache and cookies.

Thank you. While this doesn't force a page to reload, I was able to use this to clear the cache. In my case, I selected 'Cache' only and that I was able to retrieve news.google.com successfully.

Thanks.
