I'm developing a website.

I test it in Mozilla,
When I make a change to the website javascript code, I find that the change is not reflected in the browser(I checked code in debugger of Mozilla)

I understand that it's a cache problem because when I clear cache, the things work properly.

Have I identified the issue correctly?
If yes, is there a way to get rid of Clearing Cache every time?

    You can temporarily disable caching or press `cmd`+`shift`+`r` to reload without using the cache. – str Aug 04 '16 at 12:02

    This is a question about the use of Mozilla Firefox, and is more appropriate on SuperUser.SE. – DrakaSAN Aug 04 '16 at 12:02

    @DrakaSAN I disagree. It is related to a crucial step in web development. Similar questions about development tools have been asked and answered on SO without any problems. –  Aug 04 '16 at 12:03

    Probably `ctrl`+`shift`+`r`. – str Aug 04 '16 at 12:12

Open the tools (F12). Go to Preferences > Advanced Parameters > Disable cache (when dev tool is open).

This way you only disable cache in dev mode, and have no impact on other sites navigation.

You have an option to disable caching in Preferences.
Go to Preferences->Advanced -> Network and check Override automatic cache management.
Limit it to0.

  • This answer was already given by someone, but that person deleted it seems. The issue commented was that all websites get affected by this. – Jithin Pavithran Aug 04 '16 at 12:42
