Reload pages on session restore

Hi everyone,

I've enabled the Restore previous session feature (in Settings->General->Startup). All nice and good, except the fact that FF is serving pages from cache when starting up and restoring the session. I would very much like FF to refresh the pages so I can see the live content by default.

Any ideas? Maybe an about:config flag?

Thanks, Mircea.

Type about:preferences#privacy<enter> in the address bar. The button next to History, select Use Custom Settings.

Turn on Remember My Browsing And Download History At the bottom of the page, turn on Clear History When Firefox Closes. At the far right, press the Settings button. Turn on ONLY Cache and Form And Search History leaving the others off.

Thanks for the detailed answer. Blindly clearing the cache on every shutdown is not really an option, that voids the performance improvement offered by the cache by loosing all images, java scripts, css files etc. I was hoping for an option strictly related to session restore feature.

Yet another good example of sloppy design.

I always clear the cache. Yes, this does mean the data must be sent again. But it also means old data is cleared out.

Session restore reloads each tab on demand, and Firefox will use cached files if they are available and not expired.

You want Firefox to use cached files in the new session, but also to act as though you clicked the Reload button when you restore a tab?

I'm not aware of a built-in feature for that. Maybe there's an add-on that can reload the page when you activate a "discarded" tab.

Session restore is a particular and distinct use case, it happens at startup, not during regular browsing activity, most of the time after a rather long break, say, today, after yesterday's shutdown. So it makes a lot of sense, at least to me, to not use the cache. On the other hand I don't want the cache cleared out every time I need to perform a reboot or kill FF because it hangs (which happens every now and then).

That being said, is there any setting with the expiry time of the cached content? If I could set it to 10 hours, for example, that would keep the cached content during the day, but expire it on the next day.
