When I go to, for example, reddit.com … the page doesn't automatically show the new content or update my message indicator. I have to manually refresh every time. This is using firefox 3.6.16 on windows 7. I have set the browser.cache.check_doc_frequency setting to 1, and it still doesn't fix the issue.
Firefox – Force Browser to Check for New Version of Page

I realized later what's going on. If I close the browser with tabs open, and then reopen the browser so that it reloads those tabs automatically... the tabs don't all get auto-refreshed. So I was viewing e.g. unrefreshed reddit. If I open a new tab, or close all tabs and then visit the page... it loads the freshest version.
