I am running FF5. In previous versions I believe that there was a way to tell FF how/when to check if a target web page is newer than what is in cache. I delete all cache when exiting, so the problem is only within a given session. As a bandaid, I can right click and hit Reload, but doing that for every page displayed is not practical. FF help suggests that I navigate to cache delete and delete the current cache, but that is about as practical as reloading.

Where do I tell FF to check for newer version whenever I visit a web page? In IE, there is a simple to tell IE to always check.

thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately in FF5, there is no Preferences in the Edit menu. I know how to manually change preferences using about:configuration and directly editing the keys, but I need a method for "average" FF users

You can't make that setting via the user interface.
That cache check is only available via the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
  • Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
  • Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

  • Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
  • Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
  • Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)

thanks for the reply. As per my first post, the page reload is not a practical (general) solution. There are simpler ways to reload the current page than what you provided. As per my first reply, I know about about:config and how to change key values. What I was looking for was a way to do this via the standard user interface. It appears that this "feature" was removed from FF5. It was available in previous versions of FF and Mozilla's on-line help, e.g., http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.cache.check_doc_frequency explicitly describes a method via the user interface. Seems strange to remove that capability; even IE8 has it
