Quoted Issue #1124

        Greasy Fork will cache the user.js for 60 minutes. It will also clear the cache when the script is updated

          It's happening again, 45mins since update in both TM + VM in Firefox 112.0.2 (64-bit):

Solution I have found

I cannot reply in that open issue. I don't know why.

I would like to tell you that, it might be not GreasyFork issue.

If you use browser's download or fetch feature, you can valid that the file is already updated.

TM cached the script and since the link does not change, the cache remains unchanged. When browser restarts fully, the cache problem might resolve.

A more direct way is to change to link to force download the latest version.

Here is the solution.

I am not sure whether GreasyFork has set no-cache or expired = now to .user.js or not. But changing the link is effective.

And the cache will be still there even you uninstall the script in TM. When you install it after uninstallation, the same cached script will be used for installation.

This should be fixed now, see #1124.
