You saw the new data in firefox because I guess you were logged in as
described here:
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Wikipedia:Bypass_your_cache#Server_cache

Adding no-cache as the default option for everybody would result in bad
performance for alot of services thats why servers have these caches and
upstream disabled it by default. I will stay with the default setting
for "no-cache".
