the easy way would be using the keyboard shortcuts like “Ctrl-Shift-R” or “Ctrl-F5″, (use command key on Macs) to reload the page.

If you’re going to edit the about:config, suggest you start with changing:
browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 1
that way you can still use cache but check each time to make sure it’s current.

i got same problem before… what i did is i added a random number just after the php file. for example your page is “www.yourpage.com/phppdf.php”. just add a random number (you can use mt_rand() function) after the php file and dont forget to add “?”…. just like this one “www.yourpage.com/phppdf.php?1234567890″

hope this helps.

[...]changing the setting browser.cache.disk.enable to false.[...]
Probably because it should be in the options menu to begin with, in my opinion.

end of quote.

You are wrong. It should not.

Your article showed me a way to reactivate the cache that had been deactivated for no reason ! “browser.cache.disk.enable” was set to false. Thanks
