Firefox Desktop keeps using cached calculation results until a hard refresh
Hello,
I'm troubleshooting a Firefox Desktop issue that I haven't been able to reproduce consistently in other browsers.
I use a browser-based precious metal calculator that performs calculations instantly using JavaScript. The page loads correctly, but after changing several input values and navigating between tabs, Firefox occasionally continues displaying an older calculated result until I perform a hard refresh (Ctrl + F5).
I've been able to reproduce the issue consistently using this scrap calculator scrap calculator. The page loads normally, but Firefox sometimes continues displaying an older calculated value until a hard refresh is performed.
The page itself loads normally, and there are no visible JavaScript errors in the Browser Console. However, the displayed value sometimes does not update immediately after changing the weight or purity inputs.
So far I have tested:
- Firefox Troubleshoot Mode
- Disabled all extensions
- Cleared cache and cookies
- Tested a new Firefox profile
- Disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection for the site
The issue appears only in Firefox Desktop. Chrome and Edge update the calculation instantly under the same conditions.
Has anyone encountered similar behavior involving JavaScript-driven calculations, form inputs, or page caching in Firefox?
Are there specific Firefox settings or diagnostic tools I should check to determine whether this is related to caching, page state restoration, or another browser feature?
Thank you for any guidance.

No. So are you "using" it or you're the author looking into debugging it? a) find another calculator, b) capture a profile profiler.firefox.com/docs when you think the JS is not computing things.
If it's badly coded, tell the authors, or move along.
