How many other pages do you visit that let you change the website
design?
Do they have cache-control directives in the header?
Like:
<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache">
(which doesn't mean you can't cache the page BTW)
I've tested here with Mozilla-1.1 and your cache preference setting of
"check when out of date" and mozilla does not appear to revalidate a
page when it is out of date (for example if "max-age=0" is set for the
page).
The cookies are set correctly but the validation request is never made
so the cookies are never read and the page is never regenerated.
I have added the above <meta> line to my site and that appears to be
the only way to get mozilla "working" with this cache-preference.
Where "working" refers to generating a revalidate request to compare
what's local to what the server is providing.
I'm considering just adding a note to site-preferences page that
people should just reload if they don't see all pages how they want
them or set their browser to recheck.
