    The instructions may vary slightly depending on browser versions you use, but the following should get you to the right area. - see http://etudesproject.org/gateway/Info_PCSettings.html

    Check Your Browser's Cache Settings! 99% of technical problems are due to incorrect browser "cache" settings.

    The browser cache stores pages downloaded to your computer from the Internet. As you work, ETUDES-NG is continually updating and storing pages in a database that is on a remote server, not locally on your computer. The browser must be set to always go out to the server and get new pages from the server and to not use old pages stored on your computer or errors will occur.

    4) Click on the OK Button.

    2) Click on the Privacy icon then click the tiny plus sign next to Cache to view the settings.

    3) Click on the Clear Button and enter 0 (zero) KB of disc space for the cache.

    4) Click on the OK Button

    5) Open a browser window, delete the address in the URL bar and type about:config

    6) Click Enter to see Firefox settings.

    7) Scroll down to browser.cache.check_doc_frequency

    8) Make sure the setting is 3 in the dialogue box. Click OK.
