App Tabs don't refresh when opening Firefox
I have an app tab set for local weather and an app tab for Gmail. When I open Firefox 4.0, the both weather data and the Gmail page are from the last time I manually refreshed it. The main tabs refresh to current data every time you open Firefox, but not the app tabs. I have to open each one and manually refresh them to get current data.

Firefox loads pages from the cache on a (re)start.
To get a fresh page from the server you need to use Delete browsing, search and download history on Firefox to clear the Cache if you close Firefox.
To see all the History and Cookie settings, select:
- Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Use custom settings for history"
- Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings
Is this going to clear all my history every time? If so, then I cannot go back to yesterday's history, etc.
If I have these sites on standard tabs, they open refreshed as they always have, but if I have them as app tabs they do not.
Why don't the app tabs load refreshed like the standard tabs do?
Am I going to have to choose between having history available and using app tabs? If so it sucks.
In order for the javascript modified content on a webpage to be refreshed on re-opening firefox (if you are either using the "Show my windows from last time" option, or you are using pinned app tabs) the webpage needs to refresh it's content on loading.
For users with this problem: let the website developer know you have this problem.
For web developers:
You simply need to include an onLoad in your body: <body onload='refresh_AJAX()'> and write a javascript function "refresh_AJAX()", which updates all the relevant content.
