I need an updated page from server.
I'm a developer trying to test my web application in firefox. The problem is that once FireFox has loaded a page it is cached forever and there seem to be no way what so ever to make it reload from the server.
I've tried to find some developer settings, but there seem to be none. There is a developer sub menu, but there is nothing about cacheing there.
I thought that this problem would be easily solved by googling on it, but NO! I can find no solution to this problem.
Every other browser I've ever used has a workaround to this problem, but if Firefox also have such it is a very well hidden secret.

There is a setting in the developer toolbox settings (scroll down to the Advanced section) to disable the HTTP cache, but that might not be enough in all cases.

{ Ctrl + F5 } to reload a page from the server.
The above forces the website to redownload the web page bypassing the cache.
Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.
Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

Yes! I finally found the 'disable cache' setting, it took some time.
I wen't over this setting page several times yesterday and several times today without seeing this.
The font used in the setting are really tiny and I use glasses. But this support site also have a very tiny font size. Maybe I need stronger glasses :-)
Anyhow, thanks for the help!
I sometimes use a magnifier.
You can zoom that developer toolbox with the usual keyboard shortcuts (Command and +).
Cool! It even works on Mac!
Thanks!
