Firefox no-cache not enforced?

How to make Firefox not cache the response? We tried:

response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate"); // HTTP 1.1.
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // HTTP 1.0.
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); // Proxies.

but roughly in the following cache:

Cache entry information

fetch count:    4

Thank.

Firefox always (unless it runs out of space) stores data in its cache, so that it can do things like a view source, save it like, for example, just pulling data from the cache. It may not use it for regular page loads, of course, if no-cache was installed in the data.

If the data is not stored, it will put the cache entry in memory, not on disk, as requested.
