Details

By bug 862222 people are now able to circumvent the caching of web fonts. Though this is not working if the fonts are used within an iframe.

Test case:
1. Open the Web Console at http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_font-face_rule
2. Reload the page via Ctrl+F5

=> There's no request made for http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/Sansation_Light.ttf, which is used to display the text within the right iframe.

Still an issue in Nightly 44.0a1 (2015-09-23). CC'ed Victor, as it also affects the devtools.

Tried it on Nightly 57.0a1 (2017-08-17) and it's still an issue.
