hi there,

I am hoping the Firefox team can help with a small problem, is there a way of automatically refreshing webpages within Firefox 3.6.10 and 4.06 beta? We are building an interesting website at the moment and the client is using Firefox 3.6.10to view the site. Each time they go onto the new website to see the changes we have done, they are shown old pages. We need to rectify this problem as quickly as possible, for our client without requesting that they refresh the page each time they go onto the site.

You can do that by changing a hidden preference.

  1. Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
  2. Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
  3. In the filter box type browser.cache to bring up a small number of preferences
  4. Double-click on the preference browser.cache.check_doc_frequency and change its value to 1

For more details on that preference see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
