It could be there were no such postings. Or the options were set that way.

Have you checked with the sites support?

Is it this page? https://www.gumtree.com/jobs

Could you try bypassing Firefox's cache. To do that, reload the page using either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+r
  • Shift+click the reload arrow in the address bar

Maybe it's not typical, but following the "Featured" listings, I have a couple "Just now" listings and then stuff from the last 10 minutes.

What are you using as protection program on your system? As a test, disable it.

Possibly an external cache. What if you modify the URL with a unique parameter, such as:

https://www.gumtree.com/jobs?1111

Can you get a fresh load of the page that way?
