I only use Google Chrome for most things now. I use Firefox as a secondary browser. Up until about a year ago I used to use Firefox as my primary browser, but don't recall any problem like that.
If you want you could contact the NHC webmaster:
nhcwebmaster@noaa.gov
But maybe first some people with Firefox could see if they are experiencing any issues. I don't cache things in Firefox any more, I use the browser permanently in private browsing so that it always downloads the latest information every session so I can't simply test how the caching works in a short amount of time.
This is the front page image of their site:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/xgtwo/two_atl_0d0.png
When you visit it, what do you get? It has Kate on it still?
If you click the refresh button, it doesn't give the current image? What about right clicking on the page, but not the image itself, and hitting the refresh icon in the menu that pops up?
Or try the information here too:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1002557
If that doesn't work, you could try something else in Firefox.
Menu Button (3 horizontal lines) > Options > Privacy Tab.
On that Privacy tab check "Clear history when Firefox closes"
Then click "Settings..." to the right.
You can then make sure "Cache" is checked under "History".
You should probably uncheck everything else. If "Browsing & Download History" is checked, you will lose the addresses of every site you have visited, meaning when you start typing an address of a place you have went previously, it will lose all of that until you revisit all the sites you had before so it can be rebuilt again. (assuming at that point you then unchecked it) So you don't want that checked.
Close Firefox and then open it again and visit the NHC. It should then work.
What that does is always delete anything cached when you close Firefox. If you don't have a good internet connection you should avoid this option. This means things will always have to download again. Webpages will load slower each time if you don't have a fast connection as images that and everything else that didn't change since your last visit must be downloaded again rather than simply be loaded from the copy on your computer.
If that doesn't work or visiting this link in another browser:
http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/xgtwo/two_atl_0d0.png
Also still shows Kate, especially if you have never used that browser before, then you ISP must be caching pages. If that is occurring, I don't know what to do. An ISP might possibly cache things so that they don't have to keep getting the same data for webpage each time. I think that is something rare at this point though and it should not happen for this long.
If nothing else works, you could try the steps here:
https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/CKB/How+To+Clear+Your+DNS+Cache
That involves typing:
ipconfig /flushdns
Into a Windows command prompt.
Maybe try after that. Or restart your computer first.
If that still doesn't work, there might be a few other commands that could be tried, but start with all that first.
