Not showing latest page
|
|
| ~~~AAA~~~ 2006-02-15, 2:46 am |
| When I go to www.drudgereport.com I occasionally am not being shown the
latest page. I have to click on the refresh button to get the latest page.
Not sure if this is happening with other pages but I noticed it with this
page. How can I get Firefox 1.5 to show the latest page each time I go to
it?

this is happening because FF is looking in its Cache for the page and
it shows that instead. If you change the Cache settings then you can
get a fresh page each time you go there. Look under Tools, Options,
Privacy, Cache.
NOTE: If you're already on that page, then FF won't automatically
refresh itself. You'd have to look for an extension to do that:

I am very suprised, do you really need an extension for that? Don't
Firefox give (in the settings for cache) options for settings to compare
the page in the cache with the page on the server?
In SeaMonkey I have it set to compare every time I view a page. Other
options are "Once per session", "When the page is out of date" and "Never".

In Firefox, the UI for cache checking was removed
you can set it via about :config
browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
0=never, 1=once per session, 2=always, 3=automatic
Those eqate to the SM UI settings
0=Never 1=Once per Session 2=Everytime I view the page 3=When the page
is out of date
Or, you can use an extension that gives you access to a similar UI
While some may disdain the removal of the UI, it was found that most
users never change it from the default (3 or automatic in Firefox). The
capability is still there, but the nicety (and bloat) of the UI isnt.
Most users never need to access it.
