    1. COExactly. Firebug shows requests in a light grey colour if the response is already cached. To confirm, go to Firebug > Net > Request URL > Cache. Look at the fetch count. You should see that field increment.

    2. COGuys thanks for taking the time to reply. Probably my question is too long. TRUE that FF takes the file from the cache, but the point is that before doing that it does contact the server. The server replies with a 200 OK, FF does not download the file, and gets it from the cache. I'm not surprised FF gets the file form the cache, I'm surprised FF contacts 1st the server, I alreday told FF that the file does not expire `Cache-Control: max-age=31536000`, so why does FF keeps contacting the server. A server request for each image adds an appreciable latency (even if the image is not downloaded)

    3. CO@symcbean: you can easy test this behavior by opening this Stackoverflow site (the server does send `Cache-Control max-age=604800`) so the image should get cached for 7 days. Well if you navigate SO site you will see in your "Firebug > Net" that the image `http:...stackoverflow/img/tag-adobe.png` does not even appear in "Firebug > Net", I assume that's because the image is taken from the cache. But if you close browser and open it again, you will see in "Firebug > Net" that the server is contacted again (grey color) for such image, then the image is not downloaded, but still the server is hit.
