Even after clearing cache, and changing my HTML, the old web page loads unless I quit FF completely and restart it, which I don't want to do..
I'm trying to debug a web page written in html5 with a serverside php that emails user input to me. The changes are minor aesthetic tweaks that only take a minute to change and then test.
It took me a while to realize that Firefox is not completely clearing the cache unless I exit FF and restart. That's a lot of effort to test one change in an html file, so I would really like to completely clear the cache. Does anyone know what is being left behind and where?

Reload the webpage while bypassing the cache using one of the following steps:
Hold down the Shift key and click the Reload 
button in the navigation toolbar.
OR
Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows and Linux)
Press Command + Shift + R (Mac)
Alternatively, you can also open the website in a Private Browsing window. The cache for these windows is erased when you close the window, so you can open and close the Private Browsing window rather than the entire browser.
Hope this helps.

Wesley Branton, Press Ctrl + F5 or Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows and Linux) both work on Linux Mint. I much appreciate the prompt response. You helped cut the job down to size! Carl
