My website, vcdart.org, updates on other browsers but very slow (sometimes days) on Firefox.

When I edit my website, other browsers show the updates very quickly. Firefox is always the last to reflect changes. I updated on Monday and those changes are coming up fine in MSN Edge. Firefox still, after two days, has not updated.

Chosen solution

Firefox is probably displaying older content from the cache, rather than from the web server.

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:

  • Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload FxReloadButton button in the navigation toolbar.

OR

  • Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows and Linux)
  • Press Command + Shift + R (Mac)
