During testing of a new version 2.0 release of my Firefox extension,

I get this too. My experience is as follows: When I get this scenario,
if I load the update RDF directly in the browser, then I get the old
version. If I shift-reload then I get the new version, and the Extension
Manager does the update.
Strangely enough it appears that the Extension Manager does attempt to
overcome caching problems:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/toolkit/mozapps/extensions/src/nsExtensionManager.js.in#6163
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298305 says
"We follow the normal network-cache rules here, where the server that
provides
the update RDF can decide how long it is allowed to persist in the cache. I
don't think this is something we want to fix."
Has anyone successfully set expiry times or maxage headers on their
update.rdfs?
