Turn Off Web Page Caching in Firefox

I noticed today that Firefox will still cache a web page that uses the Cache-Control: no-cache HTTP header (i.e., it doesn’t honor/respect the no-cache value of the Cache-Control header).

After doing some research, I discovered that you have to send no-store instead, like so: Cache-Control: no-store. Internet Explorer 6.0 respects both the no-cache and no-store values.
