Force Firefox to Reload Page on Back Button

Question

How do you make Firefox rerun javascript and reload the entire page when the user presses the back button? I was able to do this in all browsers except Firefox from the help of another SO question by adding this code:

history.navigationMode = 'compatible';
$("body").unload(function(){})

And also adding an iFrame... But this doesn't work in Firefox. Is there anything to do?

You could use that script to be found here:

Otherwise you could use the Gecko-Specific DOM Event: DOMContentLoaded

add this between your HEAD tags

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" CONTENT="-1">
