Firefox and RequireJS still pulling from cache even with toolbox open


I'm using FirefoxDeveloperEdition 36 on OSX 10.10.1. I've enabled the "Disable Cache (when toolbox is open)" option in the toolbox's settings panel:

Disable Cache (when toolbox is open) is enabled

However, I'm not seeing my changes until I manually clear the cache via Preferences => Privacy => clear your recent history, even if I have the toolbox open.

I'm using RequireJS to load my script dependencies. It looks like other people have had issues with RequireJS and caching, so I'm guessing this is the root issue.

Is this option not working as promised, or am I doing something wrong? I'd like to avoid the urlArgs workaround if possible.

I haven't noticed this behavior in any other browser.
