Tabs saved in collections are cached too aggressively

I have created a collection called "Daily" as a substitute for my previous top sites which I used to check daily. Now, however, whenever I open a tab from the collection a cached version loads up and I get a version from several days ago, unless I specifically reload the page and effectively have to open up the site twice. I've checked a bunch of different sites to see if it's caused by caching headers on the HTTP response but it's the same whatever site I visit. Is there any way to change this behavior?

Hi Niklas

You may wish to add the sites as Top Sites in Firefox for Android instead of add the tabs to a Collection.

With the page open that you wish to save, open the menu and select Add to top sites for it to be added as a top site to the Firefox for Android homescreen.

I hope this helps.

Thanks, that helps! But the caching behavior is still too aggressive, would you be able to point me to where I should file an issue?

Firefox advertise that you add your web pages organised into collections, but caching the pages really defeats that purpose. Opera does.it better in terms of folders and its just like bookmarks. Hope it's fixed in the next or future releases.
