Then I faced this bug. You can reproduce it as follows: test-1.php (with session) <?php session_start(); ?> <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> Test caching behavior ... </body> </html> Response headers are i.a.: Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache 1. I opened Firefox and went to: Developer Tools -> Network 2. I typed the url of test-1.php in the addressbar. 3. I pressed the back button in the browser, followed by the forward button. Now I can see test-1.php in the network request list. So this is correct! Now the case where it goes wrong: test-2.php (without session) <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>Test</title> </head> <body> Test caching behavior ... </body> </html> 1. I opened Firefox and went to: Developer Tools -> Network 2. I typed the url of test-2.php in the addressbar. 3. I pressed the back button in the browser, followed by the forward button. Now the network request list is empty, while Firefox had to show test-2.php there. Chrome is doing it correctly, but Firefox not. Actual results: Firefox did not show test-2.php in the network request list. Expected results: Firefox must show test-2.php in the network request list.

Sorry for late reply (holidays). But I don't have Firefox 59. I have version 57.0.4. Or you want me to install the beta version to check it? (usually I'm not working with beta versions)

Thanks! Just tested it in: Firefox Nightly 59.0a1 (2018-01-08) (64-bit) Still the same problem as in my first post.
