IE v Firefox index.html issue

    I think this might be a very simple question but I can not find the answer to it.

    Does anyone know why a website url will work correctly in IE but not in Firefox ?

    The site is on IIS7 7

    www.url.com opens in IE but for some reason firefox needs www.url.com/index.html

    Firefox pointed at www.url.com shows an old out of date and broken index.html. firefox if pointed to www.url.com/index.html will display correctly.

    The thing is, I can not find the old broken index.html anywhere looking in or under www_root. Does anyone have any ideas on which folder/file firefox is using instead of the (for IE the default) wwwroot /index.html ?

    Have you cleared Firefox's cache ? It can be problematic when testing.

    I thought it was set to clear automatically each time I exited the browser but apparently not !

    Thanks for that! ! It works :)
