Re: Re: Mozilla Firefox can't disable browser cache. Why?

Yes, you guys are correct. I tried disabling the in-memory browser cache. This is what I experience.

WHEN FIREFOX IN-MEMORY CACHE IS DISABLED:
I can't open the page a.php any more. It seems the browser must cache a page in the memory to display it.

WHEN FIREFOX IN-MEMORY CACHE IS ENABLED:
I can open a.php. Once I close Firefox and re-open  and then set it to "Work Offline", I can't open a.php anymore.

So you guys are correct. It's because of in-memory caching.
