Problem

I'm using Firefox 3.5.2. For some reason, it has cached a page and won't update. For example, I added an statement to some JavaScript code which is loaded on the page, but Firefox doesn't see it. When I do a view source, I still see the old code. So I'm guessing this is a cache issue. How can I fix it, or can I make Firefox never cache anything from ?
