AFAICT, Firefox does not have the problem.  My test was to load the
Drudge Report main page (Richard M Nixon unavailable for comment ;-),
then after all the pictures loaded, hit "Reload", and verify that it
does not re-download each image from the server.

Whereas with Epiphany, on the same site, I am certain that in the past,
I have opened the site, let the main image load, browsed elsewhere, and
when I returned half an hour or so later, it reloaded the same image
from the server.

It's easy to tell on dialup, because images load line-by-line.
