Did you fully quit and restart Firefox?  If not, it could be operating
from something still in memory.

When a browser gets stuck in the past, there's two usual culprits:

 * It's cached the files its downloaded, and won't fetch new versions
   (*often* you can simply reload the page, sometimes while holding a
   qualifier key down - like the SHIFT key).

 * It's remembered the IP address that it connected to before, and
   won't check to see if the IP has changed (this has always required a
   full program exit, to clear, with my browsers).

I don't know whether, for either case, it's obeying the information it
was told for how long it's permitted to cache the data (regardless of
how impractical it may be), or ignoring it and following the browser
programmer's ideas on what's best to do (regardless of how impractical
that may be, too).

I wish browsers would acknowledge a user's reload instruction as: start
completely afresh because something didn't work right.
