I had that problem myself in Firefox, and it's corrected in this new update. For some reason, the "check for updates" function in Firefox was not showing that this new version is available. It is! Update! And see the constant refreshment of Althouse!
CORRECTION: It's Firefox, not Foxfire. I wonder how many other syllables I've been reversing without putting myself in a position to attract corrections. Foxfire is bioluminescent fungus, you know.
MOREOVER: In the episode of "Lassie" that first aired on October 26, 1958, "Timmy and Boomer hunt foxfire to smear on their faces and become trapped in an abandoned house in the woods that is scheduled for demolition." Reason for wanting to smear luminescent fungus on their faces: to scare the girls out of kissing them at Martha Tyson's Halloween party.

Firefox?
I use IE and have been getting Intenal Server Error 505 messages lately -- but just with Althouse, no other Blogger sites.
Dave: A complete TOOL on the internet.
Grow up and learn to be polite.
Thanks for the correction!
Edward: Check again and make sure you have the newest newest version.
Thanks! I didn't know there was a new version. I think the auto-refresh is working!
And Edward, go to the link Gerry gives. The update within the program will wrongly make you think you have the current update.
I mean the link I give in this post. (Gerry provided it in the comments on another post.)
It is also an anticlimactic film with an experimental jet fighter pilot played by Clint Eastwood.

...whose jet fighter chase scenes are early examples of CGI and would often be shown on the screens at 1st Avenue (Mpls) as background for early 80s Eurotrash dance music. Various scenes from Tron were also popular.

The Bioluminescence FAQ
Actually, it's not Firefox. It's blogger. Blogger, for some reason, does not have the necessary code to prevent the browser from caching the page. It's not just you. It's every site on blogger.
I first noticed this on September 4.
There are also several bioluminescent species of jellyfish and other creatures inhabiting the waters around Puget Sound. You can also smear jellyfish on your face for the same effect.
And swimming in bioluminescent water (er, um, actually skinnydipping, but hardly erotic since the water is coooooold) is like swimming in fireworks. I heartily recommend it. Once.
Alan: Safari is indeed fast, slick, and nicely integrated into the Mac OS. I used to love it.
However, you'll find Firefox has a richness of features and customization possibilities that Safari simply can't touch. Firefox with the "Performancing" extension, for example, is incredibly helpful for blogging or commenting.
The ability to customize the user interface is a real plus as well. You can make Firefox look just like Safari or IE, or anything in between or something entriely different.
Firefox 2.0 for Mac is very, very nice. Kudos to Gerry and the entire Mozilla/Firefox community.
Foxfire was the name of a popular set of back-to-the-land how-to books in the 60's and 70's.
More importantly, it was also a movie in which Angelina Jolie gets naked.
Ah. But it was, as I observed, a blogger problem.
I plan to upgrade to 2.0 when all of my extensions -- well, at least the ones I use every day, like the web developer extension -- run on it. I've been refreshing the page every time I've hit a blogger site for two months, and I'd rather continue to do that for a while than do without my extensions.
