How to stop old redirection in FireFox

[apbg2801]

Hi Frenz,

My site used to redirect to http://MYSITENAME.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi, by default, when it was first created.

Now it is still redirecting to that site. How do I ask Firefox to use/refresh its cache for this particular site? I don't want to delete all my browser cache.

Site appears okay from un-cached browsers.

TIA. :lockd:

Pressing Ctrl+F5 should force the browser to refresh and then it should pick up your site.

Follow the instruction given here http://kb.x10hosting.com/questions.php?questionid=16 to flush you DNS.

Not helping Sir.

Its probably a Firefox issue. MYSITE.com is still redirecting to http://MYSITENAME.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi. Ctrl+F5 simply refreshes the http://MYSITENAME.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi page.

Perhaps I should post this to Mozillazine forum.

Ctrl+F5 refreshes the current page means already you loaded the defaultwebpage.cgi. So it loads that is not we want

Clear the browser cache and try, You can also try opera browser.

You can post this to mozilla forums but i think the only solution is to clear your browser cache

As I have mentioned already 1) Site opens fine from other(un-cached with my site) browsers. 2) I don't want to delete whole of my cache.

I know clearing the cache will resolve the issue. But I want to clear the cache of only MYSITENAME.com, not all.

Question open to the real hackers.

Hala!! :biggrin:

**Edit:
Hey Frenz.. I'm gonna use the Cacheviewer extension for FF and from there I'll delete all traces of files associated with MYSITENAME.com. He he. Posting back with output.

New versions of firefox don't offer this option.
Old versions like 2.16 offered the option to clear cache to specific websites but not the new ones.

You need to clear the whole browser cache

Sorry but Completely untrue. I used the the CacheViewer extension(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fi...ion_uuid=e7f6ea21-c7bd-db04-13a6-c1a1ec43580f). I was able to selectively delete MYSITENAME.com cache and thus able to correct the said issue.

Now everything works perfectly.
