> Firefox has two types of caches, an HTTP cache and a so-called 
Back-Forward cache. Only requests with responses from BFCache are currently 
displayed in gray. Issue 
3757<http://code.google.com/p/fbug/issues/detail?id=3757>asks for a better 
display to make the different response sources better 
distinguishable.

cache => requests will be shown in black.

> Pressing Ctrl+F5 reloads the page circumventing the cache, though the 
cache is not deactivated. It still saves the fetched data to the cache. So 
the *Cache* tab is still there (note that the *Fetch Count* is reset).

comments mention there might be other UIs.
