Resolving caching issues in Firefox

Post by alan_sh »

If you have been having caching issues - e.g. you upload a new page but it doesn't appear to change when you review it in Firefox), you can follow these instructions to disable it. It worked for me.

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste cache and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the browser.cache.disk.enable preference to switch the value from true to false

To change back later, return to this preference and double-click to toggle it back to true.

Hi. This may help with my problem in Firefox. Any suggests for Chrome?

Thanks to Pablo I've been able to hunt and peck my way into creating a decent looking website (am not a technical person). However, when making changes I find myself to clear cache and refresh Firefox & Chrome each time I make any slight change. Otherwise, the prior preview/publish remains displayed.

Have to go through 2 or 3 steps for each browser after every preview or publish attempt. Is this normal? In 8 hours today, I must have gone thru the multistep settings_-> privacy --> clear data --> are you sure?--> refresh 100+ times. My wrist is about to fall off!

Thanks!

Thanks WWB.

I turned on cache busting but problem still exists. Can someone tell me when working in WWB, you make a change and then preview. Does everyone always have to clear their cache or refresh browsers to get the preview to be current with the last modification you just made in WWB?

Happens to me on Chrome & Firefox. Each change requires to clear cache and then refresh. No extensions are enabled.

Am I the only one with this problem?

Browser extensions can also be used to do it too.

For chrome use this extension

And for Firefox

thanks Miguel, but Edge is disabled on our systems because it takes over everything.
