The same is true for Pragma: no-cache. It ends up something like Cache-Control: erik, no-cache This is only true for POST _not_ for GET. I have deactivated all of my extensions except firebug. var httpRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); httpRequest.open('POST', 'search/cards', true); httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Cache-Control', erik'); httpRequest.send(...); Here are some samples of the request and the response headers from Firebug: Response Headers Date Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:31:12 GMT Server Apache/2.2.6 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.6 OpenSSL/0.9.8e mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.4 X-Powered-By PHP/5.2.4 Expires Sun, 17 Feb 2008 00:31:13 GMT Cache-Control max-age=86400 Content-Length 6463 Keep-Alive timeout=5, max=98 Connection Keep-Alive Content-Type text/html Request Headers Host localhost User-Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; da; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 Firefox/2.0.0.12 Accept text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q=0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 Accept-Language da,en-us;q=0.7,en;q=0.3 Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate Accept-Charset ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive 300 Connection keep-alive Content-Type application/x-www-form-urlencoded X-Requested-With XMLHttpRequest Cache-Control erik, no-cache Referer http://localhost/magic/ Content-Length 62 Cookie displayStyle=list; PHPSESSID=f5aaddfd801a58250209b204b9caac53 Pragma no-cache Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

> httpRequest.setRequestHeader('Cache-Control', erik'); > Cache-Control erik, no-cache XMLHttpRequest SPEC says; > http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/#setrequestheader > setRequestHeader(header, value), method >(snip) > The setRequestHeader() method appends a value if the HTTP header given > as argument is already part of the list of request headers. Sorry but I couldn't find method to remove (a) a HTTP header from list of request headers, or (b) some values from a HTTP header in the list of request headers.

This bug was originally reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.6 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME http://www.mozilla.com http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+mode
