Firefox 73 using older cached data

When I visit a site like Washington Post or New York Times then another site, if I use the back button, Firefox usually loads an old cached version of the newspaper's home page from earlier in the day, even if the page I last viewed from was a later refresh. If I manually refresh, the page does become up-to-date, but it's a small annoyance.

Try to set this pref to 1 on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I accept the risk!" to continue.

Did it. Doesn't help. Still get an outdated page when I return to the first site.
