IE tends to cache its responses to some AJAX requests, which if you ask me is very stupid for its default behaviour.

FireFox caching is disabled by default. As always much love to the Fox.

Anyway, if you’re using jQuery.ajax() remember to pass the cache: false argument otherwise you may get unexpected results.
