Can Someone Help Me Figure Out Firefox's Reload Behaviour?

[Prometheus]

I've been using Firefox 2 for a while now, and have been always annoyed that I need to actually press the "reload" button all the time to refresh pages. I do not like any of the add-ons I've found, such as ReloadEvery because they work on a time-interval basis.

What I want is for Firefox to reload a page every time I navigate to it, including when I do so by hitting the "Back" button from another page, and at no other time, unless I push the reload button.

Strangely, my copy of Firefox actually started doing exactly what I want it to do spontaneously, for a few days last week, and has now reverted back to normal. A sugestion I came across on another forum was to alter the <browser.cache.check_doc_frequency> setting in about:config to "1". I tried that, and rebooted, but it hasn't worked.

Anyone else got a clue?

Well, you could try to turn off the cache:

browser.cache.disk.enable
and
browser.cache.memory.enable

Options for both caches:
True
False

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it didn't work.
