The ten years bug: solving a bug that wont go away

I would be surprised if browsers really would cache a file for 10 years. That sounds excessive and browsers shouldn't trust servers too much anyway.

At least when they are updated, I'd expect them to flush the cache.

Also, very few people use the same device and browser for 10 years straight.

I have, 13 years now.

Can't remember if it's the same hardware, but it's the same Debian OS installation upgraded consistently. Same firefox profile.
