The things that spring first to mind are: The website has some really stupid HTTP expiry header values. Your ISP forces you through a transparent proxy with stupid expiry/caching values. A combination of the above. There are some cryptic options to change how Firefox considers it should use caching (always use cached, always check for newer resources, only check for newer ones once per browsing session, etc.). But which mode it's in is set by a number, not a word, so I don't know which is which. Look through the about:config options regarding "cache", then google on how to play with the ones that you find. Alternatively, if you're not connecting, rather than getting stale results, it might be your DNS that you need to sort out. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
