Clearing the Cache
To ensure that saved files are updated: This is one of a number of settings that are not easy to find in Firefox, because they are not included in the standard Options facility. Instead, using the browser address bar, as if surfing the web, type in about:config and press enter. Scroll down the long list of options until you find browser.cache.check_doc_frequency. This can have a value set of 0, 1, 2 or 3. Three is the default and works fine. In fact anything except “2” is ok. To change the value, double-click the line and enter the value that you want in the box that pops up.
