Firefox keeps loading a cached version of a website, specifically businessinsider.com. I have tried deleting my cache via tools>clear recent history>everything. And of course i did make sure all of the boxes were checked.

I also have deleted the cache at C:\Users\Syntax Attack\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\go9ce91m.default both the offline cache and the regular, and yet it is still loading a page from much earlier. This is an intermittent issue and does not always happen, it is pretty much just this site it happens with anymore but has happened to a few others in the past, this has persisted even after upgrades.
