Shouldn't App Tabs display reloaded/refreshed pages when starting Firefox (instead of cached pages) ?

Having set up a couple of App Tabs, I expect to see fresh content on those pages when I start up Firefox, and then expect them to refresh normally.

Specifically, I have a tab set up for Yahoo Mail and Yahoo News, both of which show older, cached versions rather than the current content. I have to manually refresh them using the "Reload Tab" or "Reload All Tabs" menu option.

wow, it is really hard to get help on firefox. I had to sign up twice because the first one kept giving me errors about not being able to activate is and you can't tell them their help system sucks because you can't log in... I am hugely disappointed, used firefox for years. adding the app tab plugin to 3.6.x worked fine but app tabs don't refresh at all. pretty useless feature in my opinion. Maybe see if Chrome does this better now...

Go to:

< http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20clear%20the%20cache >

and follow the instructions under "Automatically clear the cache." That fixes it.

I'm afraid it doesn't fix it. It just masks the problem. I don't want to clear the cache - in fact when I don't use this new "feature" I don't have to clear the cache. I get updated content when I visit the site. Thanks for trying to help, though. I wish someone from Yahoo would have the decency to chime in.
