Hi support team,

Sometime when i used Firefox to test my site as local host browser. Firefox did not update my library file even if I saved the document. For the example, when I changed jquery file.js and then I saved it. And after that, I executed the HTML page again, Firefox still read my old code of Jquery. I dont know why but this problem happened many times. I also tested my site in other browsers such as IE and Chrome. And they worked fine, so I assumed that this may be a bug of the firefox. Please be noted that My firefox version is 22.0. My work around solution is I need to created the new file which may have different and or different location. and then let import the file from the new source instead.

Please kindly let me know, if you have the solution for this case.

Best Regards, Pornpoj H.

Firefox sometimes is a little too aggressive in reusing cached files. You can bypass those by reloading with Ctrl+Shift+r. Does that help with jQuery?
