When dynamic jQuery is used on the site to refresh SQL query data every 10 seconds from a secondary PHP page, the data is not updated in the updater div and only shows the previous entries of the database. The site works fine in Chrome and Edge (yuck...) but not in firefox. I find that in order to refresh the "dynamic" content, I need to manually clear my cache every single time i want to see the new data. Even then, it only works 50% of the time. I have no idea what's going on.

You mean to say that the issue is related to the coding on the web page and not with the browser? Why would the code work in both Chrome and (blegh) Edge, and not in Firefox? It's a fairly simple and standardized javascript code - not really something that should differ between browsers...

Different browsers sometimes use different coding.

OK, I suppose there's no harm in trying at stackoverflow then. Thank you for the suggestion.
