Yep. cause that what it does. You will need to turn off caching through the page. Using code depending on what type of page it is (mainly ASP or not).

If it is for a log out or session dependent page for visitors, put up a disclaimer telling them the possible consequences of not logging out AND closing the browser, and hope they listen. If it is for your own personal browsing, then you are pretty much SOL. set your cache to clear when closing, and ensure it closes when you are all done.

if i set the cache to clear when closing then i can test my pages and be sure that im not testing a previous version? what is the variable called in about:config?
