Just to mention: the refresh function/button in Firefox doesn’t always work correctly. Apparently, this happens whenever you use a WYSIWYG editor in a window. Examples are blog posting, rich-text e-mail composing, etc…
The bug is known at Mozilla, but so far, they haven’t provided a fix.
To workaround this bug, there is no other option than to close the window or tab containing the WYSIWYG editor, and loading the site in a new tab/window.

Addendum: I also experienced Firefox not refreshing on a web page containing (only) Flash. Opera and IE did this like it should, but Firefox apparently couldn’t see the Flash movie had changed.
In general, Firefox is not refreshing pages even after rebooting. Any ideas why this may be happening?
Sometimes I have to clear all private data, to have streaming to work again on firefox.
Here it is, end of 2008, and Firefox still doesn’t refresh pages with Flash properly.
Man, They really need to get it together. Flash is just about on everything.
Get it together already Mozilla! Years and Years with the same bug???!!!
Yep, having the same problem, and now it’s 2009! It seems to be a problem with flash movies/sites that use .xml files to gather information/data – at least that’s what It seems like to me.
