This is happening on a Mac OSX environment:

I'm discovering that from time to time the cache in Firefox causes the 
debugger in Flex Builder to behave abnormally. It seems that Firefox 
retrieves a copy of the debug output SWF from its internal cache rather 
than loading it fresh from the output folder.

This behavior causes issues when a new debug build is being debugged and 
is most visible when breakpoints in Flex Builder all of a sudden state 
that there is no code at that location.

I've run into this issue now a few times and most recently couldn't 
figure out why my code wasn't returning the correct data type for a 
service call. Turned out that the Flex debugger was working with an 
outdated (pulled from Firefox cache) version of the application and 
therefore was returning the wrong data type based on old code. Once the 
cache was cleared, everything operated normally and as expected.

Has this problem been documented and other than not allowing Firefox to 
cache the content, has anyone found a resolution to this?

Thanks,

Jurgen
