I dislike Firefox's caching behavior. My nameservers cache just fine and
they are speedy enough by themselves. Firefox's cache is just another
level of expirations to go through. So I disable it completely. Here's
the cross-platform method, if you should wish to do so:

In about:config, two new integer entried:
  network.dnsCacheExpiration    -> 0
  network.dnsCacheEntries       -> 0
