This is a request. There are sites I go to every week to mine data. Some of
these sites pop into the browser before I can say "cache" while others go back
to the site and download every image AGAIN and AGAIN. I would like to be able to
override this behaviour; I realise it might be because of the site, not the browser.

Here's an example if you want one:

You can play around with Advanced->Cache in your preferences, maybe that does
what you want. Otherwise i don't think we will provide options to override
general no-cache, etc. headers, since we want to stick to the RfCs here i think...

maybe you can try a recent nightly build with "blazing back and forward" enabled?
See 
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/deerpark/new-browser-features.html
for instructions.
