There is a preference (hidden in Firefox, but not in Mozilla) that allows this to be specified. However, always going back to the server is undesirable in many cases for speed of browsing. which is why the default in both browsers is to use the cache settings. The server can specify to not use cache for a page, so web apps relying on that type of behaviour should do that. Marking INVALID, this is an option, but is not default. We're not going to change the default either, for the reasons above.

I think the big problem lies with Firefox not allowing us to control the cache, as Mozilla does with the options in Advanced->Cache "Compare the page in the Cache to the page on the Network: Every time I view the page". It may not be the best thing in the world to do, but when one is working on a web site, it very useful. I agree it should no be the default.

use about:config to set browser.cache.check_doc_frequency values: 1 = Every time I view the page 0 = Once per session 3 = When the page is out of date (default) 2 = Never
