Sorry, disregard the last message.  I spoke too soon.  Firefox *does*
automatically reload the same images from the server.

It seems that if the site specifies a 5-minute refresh, as this one
does, Firefox and Epiphany will do what it says and reload *everything*
every 5 minutes.

Maybe this is the "correct" behavior.  But, IE is MUCH more aggressive
about caching images which is good from the user POV.
