Firefox Desktop keeps using cached calculation results until a hard refresh

Hello,

I'm troubleshooting a Firefox Desktop issue that I haven't been able to reproduce consistently in other browsers.

I use a browser-based precious metal calculator that performs calculations instantly using JavaScript. The page loads correctly, but after changing several input values and navigating between tabs, Firefox occasionally continues displaying an older calculated result until I perform a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5).

I've been able to reproduce the issue consistently using this scrap calculator scrap calculator. The page loads normally, but Firefox sometimes continues displaying an older calculated value until a hard refresh is performed.

The page itself loads normally, and there are no visible JavaScript errors in the Browser Console. However, the displayed value sometimes does not update immediately after changing the weight or purity inputs.

So far I have tested:

  • Firefox Troubleshoot Mode
  • Disabled all extensions
  • Cleared cache and cookies
  • Tested a new Firefox profile
  • Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site

The issue appears only in Firefox Desktop. Chrome and Edge update the calculation instantly under the same conditions.

Has anyone encountered similar behavior involving JavaScript-driven calculations, form inputs, or page caching in Firefox?

Are there specific Firefox settings or diagnostic tools I should check to determine whether this is related to caching, page state restoration, or another browser feature?

Thank you for any guidance.

Has anyone reported this before? I am working as a contractor for a BigTech company. I am using an online platform/tool of theirs for several years now but after a recent update the work area doesn't show scroll bars anymore. That means I cannot scroll the editor window and can't go beyond the first page. This makes working (and earning money) almost impossible. As even for the tiniest edit I have to download huge tasks which is extremely time-consuming. An inquiry with my manager there indicated that other contractors on firefox experience the same issue. so they consider it a firefox compatibility issue of some kind. They gave me the advice to use Chrome, Edge or Safri instead. Well, I use firefox because I do not want to use Chrome/Edge... Don't know about Safari but my PC is on Windows... Any idea what can cause it and how to resolve the issue?

Has Firefox instituted a security setting that is interfering with commerce-related sites? Suddenly I can't log in to my credit union (gets stuck on "authentication" step), amazon.com (endless "transferring data" message during login attempt), and mutual fund sites (similar to amazon.com experience). These all are related to money/commerce. I've turned off Firefox's popup blocking and even explicitly allowed cookies for the sites. I did a Refresh to get rid of extensions that might be causing problems (even though there wasn't a problem a week ago on these sites). I've tried Firefox on a second computer for the credit union site and got the same behavior. Chrome has no problem with these logins, by the way.

Hello Firefox Support, I need your help with a problem in Mozilla Firefox. I play Zynga Poker on my laptop. Firefox is much faster than other browsers on my computer, but Zynga Poker does not load. It only displays the message "Sorry, reload." Reloading the page does not solve the problem. The game works in Google Chrome, but Chrome is extremely slow, making it difficult to play. Could you please help me find out why Zynga Poker does not work correctly in Firefox and how I can fix this issue? Thank you for your time and support. Kind regards

I can't log into my Google account using Firefox. Can log in on Chrome using the same device so I don't think the device is the problem. It was fine until about an hour ago. When I attempted to click on a YouTube tab the tab closed. Any attempt to log in redirects me to a Google support page about deleting my cache and cookies. Which I've already done multiple times and I still can't log in.

I'm running Firefox on Win10 with no options to upgrade to 11. Since the latest firefox update installed, I'm getting a screen that says "Oops, something's wrong," and then I'm kicked out of gmail. A screen asks about sending a report to Firefox, which I check OK for. Today this is happening about every minute to 30 seconds . What needs to happen?

I am having the problem a fix was created for previously where attempts to sign in to my google account continually redirect to a request to clear cache and cookies. Have done so multiple times, still can't log in. Can log in on Chrome so definitely a Firefox-specific issue.

We have resolved an issue with Google prompting users to ‘clear cookies and site data’ when logging in. A fix has been published, via Firefox remote settings that does not require a Firefox upgrade. Users will receive the update over the next 6hrs, if you would like to update immediately simply restart Firefox.

Note: The issue was related to CHIPS being enabled in Fx131, this feature has been temporarily disabled while we resolve the issues. Users who have disabled 'Allow Firefox to install and run studies' in Privacy & Security settings will need to enable to receive the update.

I just can't believe after 25 years of using Firefox I have to change to Microsoft browsers. Every website I have an issue with says it's Firefox and their solution is to use Chrome or Edge. Why are you so stupid to allow this happen without an easy fix and no online help to keep longtime loyal users???

You are forcing me to go to the competition for the rest of my life, does that not resonate with anyone there???

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue with Firefox caching a JSON file.

My website uses a JSON file to display dynamic values. After updating the JSON file on the server, Chrome, Edge, and other browsers immediately show the latest data, but Firefox continues to display the old values even after refreshing the page.

I have tried: - Hard refresh (Ctrl + Shift + R) - Clearing Firefox cache - Private Browsing mode - Confirmed the JSON file is updated on the server - Verified that Chrome and Edge display the latest values

The JSON file is requested using JavaScript from my website: Main issue on this page: https://bloxvalues.net/blox-fruits-value-calculator/ and other individul item pages too.

Could Firefox be aggressively caching the JSON file, or is there a cache-related setting or HTTP header I should check? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you. Qaamar
