This is probably just due to browser caching. If you refresh the window you'll probably find that it has changed. I had the same experience with FF a while back.

I found since using FF, that after changing settings and thing in general (anywhere on the net) FF needs refreshing to activate the new setting.

And believe you me, it caused a lot of headaches on some sites until I discovered that.

For a more aggressive refresh, try ctrl+F5.

FF does sometimes seem  aggressive with its caching.

In the past Ive torn my hair out wondering why several new pages I uploaded to the site hadnt changed despite me using 'refresh', it was only when I tested in IE that I realised it was FF being silly.
