Uploading changed images to my webserver and hitting refresh always refreshes to
the correct image. However, local html files like file:///C:/index.html do not
pull new images when the refresh button is hit no matter how many times it is hit.
The HTML page refreshes every time.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an html file on your local hard drive.
2. Add some pictures to the html file.
3. Open the html file in Mozilla using "Open File"
4. Change the image files, shrink or expand them, change them to different
images,  anything.
5. Hit refresh in Mozilla.
Actual Results:  
The images do not update.

Expected Results:  
Reloaded the image from the hard drive.

What is your cache pref setting? Unless you refresh cache "every time i view the
page": Use Ctrl+reload to force a reload that doesn't use cache.
