Firefox 3 mulitple ajax requests not updating - El Forum - 07-28-2008

I just thought I would give everyone here a quick headsup with the following bug I have come across as I know a few developers here use Firefox and Firebug when coding.
From: http://lab.pxwebdesign.com.au/programming/firefox-3-mulitple-ajax-requests-not-updating/19
This morning I managed to get caught up trying to work out a problem I was facing with some content that was being updated via ajax (using jQuery). Whenever I went to perform the same action/url twice it wouldn’t update - in my case a toggle switch for displaying an item. It seemed to be a caching problem but (suprisingly) IE7 worked fine so it started to point towards something wrong with Firefox 3.
After a quick search around I found I wasn’t alone with encountering the problem with a thread on Mozillazine discussing the same issue which then lead me to a bug report covering the same problem.
The culprit - FireBug
I started to a few posts in the bug report indicating that when you disable firebug (a FireFox plugin that most web developers have turned on - especially when trying to work out problems like this!) that the issue is no longer there.
FireBug for FireFox 3 is still in beta version and the current version that the problem is happening with 1.2.0b7 was only released a couple of weeks ago.
The solution - downgrade
I went hunting for an earlier beta version and still had the problem in beta6, but managed to find a beta version that didn’t have this problem - beta4.
I got it from the following site but the file to look for is firebug-1.2.0b4-fx.xpi

Update
I did a bit more investigation and came across a way to still use the latest beta version (as I certain there would be a few bug fixes) and not encounter this problem. What you need to do is disable the 'Net' panel in firebug and the problem is gone!
