For some reason the reload on my Android FF is not reloading.

As web developer I often test changes in mobile device as well as on desktop. I have no problem refreshing desktop but seems the Android version is not playing nice. I can make a change that appears fine in desktop.

The Android refresh is not doing what it is supposed to do and does not refresh to show my changes.

Is there a setting I am missing to force refresh on mobile?

Hey there! It sounds like you're experiencing a little hiccup with refreshing on Firefox for Android. No worries, we've got you covered! To force a refresh on mobile, try a hard refresh by pressing and holding the reload button in the address bar until you see the "Reload Tab" option. If that doesn't do the trick, give this a shot: open a new tab, type "about:config" in the address bar, hit Enter, and then search for "browser.cache.check_doc_frequency." Once you find it, change the value to "1" which tells the browser to check for a new version of the page every time you reload. Give that a go and see if your changes start showing up properly.

Well might work if about:config still existed in FF for Android.

None of this works.
