Is it me or has FF got one of the worst cache systems in the browser market.
Like, I am redoing some links on my site and so I change the styles and some links and in safari on my system and on IE on the mrs laptop the changes are fine, but on FF the are not updated.
You delete the cache and still no change update. FF does really pee me off sometimes with it's stupid cache.
Anyone else have this problem with FF or is it just me?

Ahh Adam.. so I am not going mad then.. whew! started to wonder.
Well got them to work after deleting about 15 times. Waste of time cause you think it is your code and waste time looking for errors that don't exist.

a general tip with using firefox. Every time you update the CSS or Javascript, somthing bound to get Cached. In your html in the head where you call it, put a ? followed by a random string. That way it will update it each time, as firefox thinks it is a new page so will re-download it. An easy fix could be somthing like this:
You need to have the page saved as .php for that to work. And then every time you update the page you don't need to clear your cache.

<link rel="stylesheet" name="style" href="/css/style.css?<?=rand()?>" />

Would that just cause the css file to be re-downloaded or the entire site?
If the entire site.. not a good solution.

Rather than the normal refresh try Ctrl+F5. Works for me

It only caches pages you have been to......
For me its a good soltuion, say your working on your live site, you keep making small css changes, by having the random string generated at the end of the css it will always keep your css up to date so people will see the site correct.
