When I run my HTML and CSS files I often get bizarre results not because my code is wrong, but because it appears Firefox is not showing my updates. :headbang:
I have went to Tools > Clear Recent Browser History and made sure “Cache” is checked “For The last Hour”, but even doing that several times is not working.
I also quit out of Firefox but to no avail?!
What is going on?
Very frustrating!! :mad:

I don’t know. It has happened sporadically over the years. Could be lots of things. Doesn’t consistently happen, but when it does it can really throw you off track.
But usually just the hitting CTRL+F5 should do the trick
Does that work on a Mac too?

You could try an uninstall and reinstall as sometimes profiles can go a little wrong and they effect things and it sounds like you’ve had this issue for a while.
But usually just the hitting CTRL+F5 should do the trick anyway with regards to seeing the latest page you have just SAVED and written locally. You might have forgotten to save the opened HTML/CSS file before a RELOAD and that would explain some of these anomalies - I sometimes do that by accident, i.e. hit reload browser before saving CSS changes when flipping applications.
I believe the Mac uses similar methods, to make it easy follow: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard+shortcuts and select ‘Show content customized for: Mac OS’ if it doesn’t auto-detect then find: Reload (override cache) on that page.
I have one HTML file and one CSS file.
Originally there was a “Float: Reight” in the CSS file.
I deleted it.
I saved it.
I cleared out Firefox’s Cache a couple times.
I ran the HTML file and the DIV was “floated” to the right column. (That’s impossible with no “wdith” set and no “Float: Right”!!)
I re-checked my code.
I saved it AGAIN.
I cleared out Firefox’s Cache a couple times MORE. 
I quit Firefox.
I ran the HTML file and the DIV was “floated” to the right column. (That’s impossible with no “wdith” set and no “Float: Right”!!)
I did this SEVERAL MORE TIMES including QUITTING FIREFOX A COUPLE MORE TIMES
Finally the HTML page ran correctly?! 
[b]I have noticed this on and off over the last few years with Firefox!!
And it makes learning HTML and CSS very hard because you think your code is wrong when in fact it is just Firefox not displaying your updates!![/b]

Hmm, maybe you need to explain more. If you save any new code changes and then reload the page, the changes should show up. Is that what you are doing?
