Autosport is a motorsport site that adds new articles everyday.  After opening autosport website, reading and returning to homepage, I close Firefox, shut down PC. Next day, on reopening firefox, the Autosport homepage is in the state it was previously.  "Refreshing" the page does not change it even though updates have occured to the page (I have another browser open which has newer details - the other browser does refresh correctly so I don't believe it is the website).  I have only noticed this with Firefox 3.5.2

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Using firefox 3.5.2, open autosport website - home page displayed
2.shutdown pc
3.After allowing sufficient time for new articles to be added to autosport homepage (for me that was next day), start PC and reopen firefox - autosport should automatically appear with data as it was previously
4. click refresh icon
Actual Results:  
Page "refreshes" but there is no change to the information on the page

Expected Results:  
Latest page should appear

I have just closed the autosport tab and reopened the site and it still has the out of date information.  Did the same again but waited a while before reopening - latest information has now appeared

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.13 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.

According to the comment in bug 509908 comment 2 (same poster as the reporter of this bug), this is now worksforme after disabling the Skype extension 3.3.0.3789.
