Yes, that is the one I am talking about. I do not see how I could possibly have a caching proxy in there, since I certainly did not configure anything like that.
Well, I don't know where you are and who your provider is. If you're at a public library, a university, a company, chances are the IT department installed a caching proxy. Also, some providers add caching proxies, especially when you're using a mobile internet connection.
I am using a cable modem connection. As I said, I do not see how any caching proxy could be in there. I would certainly have noticed it on other web pages if the ISP was somehow screwing with my http packets.
I've seen Firefox have "hiccups" like that before. Try:
- Shift-Reload (keep the shift button pressed down while clicking on the reload button - note that you need to click, Ctrl-R + Shift doesn't work any more)
- Ctrl-Reload (same as above, with Ctrl instead of Shift, will most likely open a new tab or browser window)
- Ctrl-Shift-Reload (as above, with both pressed down)
- Switching to "Porn Mode" a.k.a. Private Browsing (Shift-Ctrl-P) and loading the page there
- Creating a new, additional Firefox user profile
- Using a different browser
I am actually using Google Chrome at the moment, but Internet Explorer and Firefox both show the same web page.
