Great post wicked...

Also for FF 2.0 - there is another cache (It might be the same) from Tools -> Clear Private Data.

Ctrl+F5 clears the cache and reloads the page while F5 ONLY refreshes the page.

Ahh, this surprised me for a second, I thought wicked was actually asking how to clear the cache

Couldn't believe she wouldn't know how to do that xD

Great post. Hopefully clears some problems ^^
