Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools :: Debugger, defect, P2)

Description

[Dan Himes]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Build ID: 20170629100321

Steps to reproduce:

1.  Using Firefox Nightly 56.01a Linux 64 bit (2017-Jun-29)
2.  Have javascript code in yii framework in DEBUG mode (published to assets on every page load)
3.  Have <code>debugger;</code> in script 
4.  Have Web Developer -> Web Console open
5.  Have Settings->Disable HTTP cache when toobox is open checked
6.  Remove 'debugger;' line in 3
7.  Shift-Reload:  "debugger;" still being seen by browser (program interrupts, debugger tab on developer tools active at "debugger;" line).
8.  Go To firefox -> Edit  -> Preferences -> Cached Web Content ->Clear Now
9.  Shift-Reload:  "debugger;" line gone


Actual results:

It looks like the dev tools isn't keep the cache from being reused when Dev Tools is open, causing the javascript to not reload after a change


Expected results:

It should have reloaded the javascript after a change

I am seeing the same in 55.  Even in a fresh (no other Firefox instances open) private window the JavaScript source in the Debugger Dev Tools is not current and never updates.

I'm in Firefox 63- and it works fine now (it has for a few versions at least). Do you need me to check something else?

A quick check and I cannot currently recreate the issue. Will attempt more later to verify.
