Hi Guys, First of all thanks for your assistance so far. I played a lot trying to remove the response.setHeader() and leaving meta tags only in my code, then, removing meta-tags and leaving response.setHeader(), I tried all possible combinations of meta tags,etc.
What I ended up and thought of letting you know is that the problem was caused by using response.setHeader(). By removing these statement and leaving the relevant Cache-control, Expires and Pragma meta-tags in the code, all works fine. It is indeed very strange to notice this, it should not really make any difference and cause problems to FireFox specifically. Once more thanks for your support.
