I am having difficulty clearing the cache on the latest upgrade of Firefox. I click both clear now buttons in preferences but the images remain cached.

I close the tab, click both clear now buttons in preferences > advanced, but the images do not update to newly uploaded ones on my site. I had a long session with my CDN and it is not their issue. It does not occur on Safari or Chrome, only Firefox. I updated to the latest version two days ago. Please advise on this bug... issue... or procedure...

Thank you,

Kevin

NOTE: From what I can tell, it might require closing the tab and opening a NEW WINDOW to get uncached content. Is this true? Is this a bug with 31.0?
