Ensuring Firefox grabs a Fresh page every time

With Internet Explorer you can easily set the Internet Options to grab a Fresh copy of a web page each time you visit. But in Firefox there has never been a simple option, until now with a simple tweak!

In fact Firefox (v2) is set to grab a fresh copy upon the 3rd refresh. This is a problem both for wanting/waiting for up-to-date information on a page or, which is my reason for finding this fix, when I'm designing a web page and need an updated preview in a browser. (not the version done half an hour ago).

But there is a real easy fix :
  1. Open Firefox, type about:config in the address bar
  2. Find the setting for browser.cache.check_doc_frequency
  3. Right click, modify
  4. Change the value to 1
