1030718 - disable cache doesn't disable font caches

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 931752

(DevTools :: Inspector, defect)

Description

[kud]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.9; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140625030206

Steps to reproduce:

- Disable caches in devtools
- Create a font
- Use it
- Create another font with the same name by adding an element inside for instance
- Refresh


Actual results:

You won't have your new element in the font, so the font used is the cached one.


Expected results:

Disable cache should also disable font caches.

Pasting some dialog from IRC:

05:36 < _kud> my use case is i use gulp + gulp-iconcss to create a font from lots of svg
05:36 <@robcee> not sure that belongs in the netmonitor panel or not. I suspect it's an actual networking bug, but want to do a little digging first.
05:36 < _kud> everytime I add an svg, a new font is created witht the same name
05:36 < _kud> but when i refresh firefox
05:36 < _kud> i still got the cache :(
05:36 < _kud> so my font is wrong
05:36 <@robcee> I see, makes debugging impossible for you.
05:36 < _kud> i need to open "private tab" to have my new font
05:36 < _kud> or delete cache
05:36 <@robcee> and you're doing this inside the Inspector to verify your 
                changes, right?
05:37 <@robcee> does Shift-Reload wipe the cache for you?
05:37 < _kud> no, just when i watch the design
05:37 < _kud> wait, robcee
05:37 < _kud> i try
05:37 < _kud> ah well yeah it seems to work

I'm marking this as duplicate of bug 931752, as they are basically asking for the same.
