What a difference the browser makes!!!
 
This afternoon I was thinking about having a couple of weeks away, somewhere like the Canaries. I found a holiday and went to book it but when I clicked on the continue button on one of the pages nothing happened. This was using Firefox. I opened up IE and booked it OK using that. The next task was arranging some travel insurance. I had found a site when using Firefox but as I was in IE I decided to continue and book the insurance using that. When I went to the same site I found the prices had all increased. Back to Firefox it again gave me the cheaper prices. Have tried clearing cache in both browsers but still get different prices shown when going to the same site. Anyone got any explanation? If you want to give it a try the site is http://www.onlineinsurancespecialists.com/

I'm getting something similar, when I'm going to a world of warcraft forum with firefox I'm getting a page from 3 days ago. With IE its the current one.

I've tried wiping the cache.

I've found trying a different profile works, I guess a bug is in mine. I'll investigate more.

I cleared the cookies, and the saved form details and its worked here. Give it a try.

Maybe Microsoft have some coding to increase all prices so that they get some money to cope with the loss of users all moving over to non Microsoft systems. LOL

I know that if both browsers have a proxy specified and they are different then one of them could have an out of date page but neither browser has a proxy specified.

Try clearing the cookies or starting a new firefox profile.
