Not too big of a bug - it's only a inconvenience for webpage designers

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Suppose you had a navigation frame controller page(if that's what you call it)
Quick Example:

<HTML>
  <TITLE>A Choice of Frames</TITLE>
    <FRAMESET COLS="15%,85%">
      <FRAME SRC="Framechoice.html">
      <FRAME SRC="FrameA.html" NAME="showframe">
    </FRAMESET>
</HTML>

2.Edit the line from "<FRAME SRC="FrameA.html NAME="showframe">" to "<FRAME
SRC="FrameB.html NAME="showframe">"

3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox still uses FrameA.html as its default navigation frame.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should use FrameB.html as its new default navigation frame

Conclusion - This has occured on three different days. Frames don't refresh
properly.
Workaround - close the tab and reopen the page.

This problem doesn't occur in Opera and IE.
Save this file to your computer (I can't think of anyway to showing the
problem).

Open the saved file up in firefox. Then open it up in a text editor. Then,
change the second frame src to another site, other than google.com (I used
majorgeeks.com). Then refresh. Google.com is still displayed.

See bug 203532 comment 1

A forced refresh - ctrl-shift-r will probably work as a work around.

Thanks, Jaime for your workaround. I just have 2 questions

What makes forced refresh different from normal refresh
Why isn't firefox implemented to use forced refresh as it's default refresh?
