Fenix: Firefox for android is suddenly only loading old (cached?) pages of many websites
Two of my android devices (running current Firefox, and Android 9 and Android 10) load the same many days old web pages when a site is selected. It is not a currently open tab, and has been happening for 2-4 days now. Clicking refresh does load the latest page. nytimes.com, washingtonpost.com, etc. I have not changed any settings in months. I have rebooted the devices and no improvement.

Can you try long pressing the refresh button? It may solve your immediate problem

Refresh button does load most current page, long press makes no difference - still initially loading old pages.

Are you opening those pages from collections? Collections save properties of the tabs, and I think this includes the page state (I may be wrong though)

Yes! The problem started when I started using collections, I put my daily favorites in. Guess collections are not too useful if that's how they function. Thanks!
