Browser does not cache resources after restart

[nil5286]

This is more a general caching question.

In my project I have pages with a couple ext.net 2.0 beta controls with asp.net-mvc3/razor

So for these pages, from the data I gather in firebug, I think that the browser isn't caching the ext.axd resource files after it is restarted.

This is what I see:

Start Firefox, goto my page
All requests show 200 OK
If I press F5, I see all the requests as 304 Not Modified
Now, if I restart the browser, it goes back to Http 200 responses.

Is browser NOT caching my resources? Is there a setting or config I can employ for it to cache my resources across browser sessions?

This is what firebug looks like:

1. When I first start:


2. When i press F5 i see:


This is what an individual request looks like:


When I restart the browser, I go back to (1). I get 200OK everywhere.

(1) Are the resources being cached? (2) Is there something I can do to cache it?

As you can notice those requests are marked as gray
It means that browser get response from cache (without a server requesting)

Thanks, so the grey link indicates it has fetched from the cache. As the grey link also was showing 200OK next to it so i got worried.
The cache expires after a year?

Confirmed, after a year.
