I have been updating pages on a web site I maintain, but have to use Chrome to check the updates as Firefox will only show old cached content. I have cleared the cache, checked "do not use cache " in the tools, used Ctrl F5, used Ctrl R, nothing gets me anything but the old page. Not an ISP problem as I can get the updated page on the same computer in a different browser.

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

  • hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
  • press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
