I normally keep "Disable HTTP Cache" checked. As it happens I just yesterday unchecked it (that is, I enabled the cache) because I was working on a JS 'preload components' function and I needed to see whether the items were caching properly or not. (I'm running Mac FF 53.0.2).
The devtools checkbox setting seemed to work correctly; my page loaded correctly whether or not I had the cache enabled; and my function affecting what gets cached worked correctly too. Lots of things in the devtools seem broken to me, but that's not one of them. So I'm guessing it's something in your setup. You use the phrase "loaded from source file"... are you loading HTML files directly from your file system, or are you using a development server? Perhaps that might affect how the cache works? (I'm using a local Apache dev server.) BTW... I think I read somewhere that the cache checkbox in the devtools only has an effect if the devtools are open; i.e. that setting is not "persistent" once you close the devtools window. However I haven't tested this.
