I have tried repeatedly to use the clear history function so that I can test updates to my webpages. However the same old cached page allways shows up without the changes. I have opened the Clear History window and checked "everything" but it makes no difference. I have also tried restarting the program with the option to not remember old tabs upon restart but the old tabs show anyway with the old cached pages intact.
