What can prevent a hard refresh from completing?

I'm running Firefox 14 on a 64-bit Windows machine. According to everything I've read, I should be able to do a hard refresh using CTRL-F5 or the refresh button on the top of the window.

When working on a website, for example, I'll update something then want to see how it looks. Doing a CTRL-F5 does nothing.

I'm a recent convert to Firefox. Now I must have IE open to see changes since the hard refresh works on IE, but I work using Firefox.

The only thing I can think of is that there is some setting that is preventing the hard refresh from working.

And, please don't ask me to clear cache and cookies. I've got so many passwords remembered on this thing, it would slow me down considerably to look each one up as I need them.

Given all that, any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe temporarily switch to Private Browsing mode and possibly clear the memory cache.

In PB mode Firefox doesn't use the disk cache and the cookies from regular mode.

You can set the browser.privatebrowsing.keep_current_session pref to true on the about:config page to prevent closing the current session.

Thanks! I'll give that a try!
