Why isn't my refresh button working?

I am a web developer. I have been using FireFox as my development browser for years, without any problems I might add. Yesterday, I noticed after making changes to a client's website, those changes were not being displayed after hitting the refresh button. The page appears as though it refreshes, however the changes are not reflected in the display nor in the source code. If I clear the browsers cache and reload the page it works, although this is obviously unacceptable for development purposes.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Have you tried Ctrl-F5 (i.e. Refresh and override the cache)? Does this happen on all pages?

I am having this problem and I think its because there is domain forwarding with masking. When I hit refresh it doesn't refresh the actual code. When I go to the exact address, it has changed.

You can reload the page and bypass the cache with: 

* Press and hold  Shift  and left-click the  Reload  button.
* Press  Ctrl  +  F5  or press  Shift  +  Ctrl  +  R  (Windows,Linux)
* Press  Shift  +  Cmd  +  R  (MAC)

Yeah, this just started with FF 6.0. This really sucks, I use FF for developing and if it doesn't show changes then it is useless. I tried all the suggestions above and none worked. I hope they fix this very soon.
