When I move to the next record on a form it shows the entries for the previous record even though the record is actually null
I have a form that logs fibre analysis for asbestos analaysis. Let's say I am analysisng 2 samples. I log all the details for the first sample and hit save. Now I use the scroll button to move to the next sample. When the screen refreshes all the entries for the first sample are still showing on the screen. But these are just phantom entries, when I look at the back-end database there are of course no entries against the second sample. This does not occur with any other browser.
I have tried clearing the cache to no avail.
Any ideas?

Try disabling Form History, and see is that solves your issue.

Sorry, tried that too, it didn't work. Weird or what
Is Firefox filling the form via the cache or via saved form data?
If this data still gets filled when "Remember search and form history" is disabled the Firefox fills it from the cache.
- Tools > Options > Privacy > Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history": "Remember search and form history"
In such a case a hard refresh via Ctrl + F5 might help to reset the form data.
Tried what you suggested, it just closes the page and sends me back to the home page of the website, when I go back in the 'data' is still there.
