(Keywords: regression)
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:79.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/79.0
Steps to reproduce:
Set browser.cache.check_doc_frequency=1, load a page, and then reload it (F5).
Actual results:
All files except the external css file are validated before being used from cache. Style sheet files are not validated (changed in bug 1599160).
Expected results:
The style sheet files should be validated. Developers that rely on this preference to iterate on their files have to do a full reload (Ctrl+F5) which wastes time and bandwidth.

Set release status flags based on info from the regressing bug 1599160

Hmm, actually, check_doc_frequency applies only to the document load, which makes some sense. I could add a pref to always validate subresource loads, if that'd be useful, but that would do basically what devtools' disable-cache does.

The bug has a release status flag that shows some version of Firefox is affected, thus it will be considered confirmed.
