This might be caused by cache. Possible solutions to your problem are available here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1147504; the accepted answer at the website is:

One way to check whether this is a problem with stored data in Firefox is to test in a new private window. When you launch the first private window in a regular browsing session, it has an empty cache and empty cookie jar and should give you a clean retrieval of the current site. If you still get old data, the problem is external to Firefox, for example, a proxy server or ISP cache.

Close all the private windows if you want to test again, since they share a temporary cache and cookie jar until the last one is closed.

You can also try to reload the page as mentioned below (this bypasses the current cache) (source: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/967500):

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.

Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
