Hi Sean, IE on both platforms is notorious for its caching issues, but is especially tenacious on the Mac (though this is the first time I've heard of problems with Firefox). The usual solution, which doesn't always work, is to hold down the shift key while hitting refresh/reload (from memory, it's the option key for IE/Mac - maybe someone else here can clarify). In the past, I've had to resort to deleting temporary Internet files, closing the browser, restarting the machine and starting from scratch (on Windows). Even then my mileage varied.
Good luck!
