how do I get firefox to bookmark the latest version of the webpage instead of the page version when it was bookmarked?
When I bookmark a blog webpage, and then click on that bookmark the next day, it goes to the previous day's version of the webpage, not the current version. I used Firefox on my old computer, and it didn't do this.

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
- Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
- Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
- Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Best is to avoid bookmarking a specific page that was requested by sending POST data in a (hidden) form or bookmarking a page that has GET data appended to the URL (?xxx=xxx) or links to a specific sub domain (xx##.example.com) in case load balancing is used as such a link can easily get broken in case of changes on the server.

While at the new web page, remove the old bookmark. Then make a new one.
