Improper Cache Management in joomla 2.5 - php

The joomla 2.5.22 site allows user to go back to the browsed pages even after a
successful log out. I tried the following steps:
1. Open the page after login authentication
2. Browsed some pages and logout from the website
3. Click on Workoffline option in Firefox
4. Open the pages from the browser Cache and still some authenticated pages are opened
Is there any way to delete the browser history on logout ?
This is a security issue. how can we overcome from it? Please suggest

3. Click on Workoffline option in Firefox
It is a function of Firefox - working offline.
You can add HTTP headers, so that the page is not cached, look there for examples:
How to control web page caching, across all browsers?

U can use Firefox's Incognito window.

Magento 2 admin panel working great on my Chrome browser but giving 'connection timeout error' on Firefox

Since yesterday I'm not able to open Magento 2 admin panel on my Firefox browser as I used to do. I don't remember making any changes which would cause something like this. After so much of debugging and no success, when I tried to open it on Chrome browser then it was working fine like before.

Caching works too good

I've a problem (what a coincidence) with my website. My website is build with WordPress. To manage logins and all the stuff I'm using Ultimate Member as plugin and rebuild it. To make my website faster and enable caching, I've installed Cache Enabler.
When I login now into my website, I've the problem that when I switch for example from the account page to an other page, the other page don't knows that the user is already logined and shows an error on the page. When I press no Strg + F5 (which clears the cache and reloads the page), the content is visible.
So is there any way to clear the browsers cache after the login within PHP?

PHP Session resumes after browser close with new PHPSESSID in Firefox

In Firefox (and Microsoft Edge) I'm seeing something that I assume is impossible.
I log into my website and get a PHPSESSID of 6a47272fa6d7b4de2292966bf77ddb51
I close Firefox
I reopen Firefox and I can see in the options that my website has no cookies set (as I expect)
I visit website again without Logging in and my session is still active (I'm still logged in) but my PHPSESSID is now 7d4117307c86faa7ea9dc7afe6b4b720
I'm not looking for a fix. I just want to know how this behavior is possible. How could PHP know which Session to resume if Firefox is not sending a PHPSESSID after the browser closes?
I don't see this happen in Chrome (the user needs to log in again as you would expect), but I do see it happen in Microsoft Edge.
After paying very close attention to my network tab in Firefox. I discovered that neither PHP nor Firefox remembered that I was logged in.
Rather my website was redirecting me to Google Sign In and Google Sign In has non session cookies that remembered I was logged in. So it quickly redirected me back to my website creating a new logged in session for the same user.
It was happening so fast it I could not tell that I was being redirected to Google until I watched the network tab.
Thanks Axalix for the suggestion.

JavaScript to check computer for a specific browser

In my web site i have this thing it loads a different page if you are in IE
I loads the no_support.html, and on the no support page i have text saying try one of the two browsers bellow, and bellow i have two images one of google chrome and the other of mozilla firefox, and when you click on any one of them they go to the download page of that browser.
I was wondering is there some trick i can put in the no support page that when for example i open it in IE and this page says try one of the browsers bellow and i click on Google chrome and if i have google chrome installed on my PC it opens my website (supported) with google chrome and if i dont have it then it goes to the download page.
Nope, you can't open a browser on a users computer like that, as that would be a major security issue, and really annoying.

App page not redirecting in IE

I have a facebook app which is basically a job app. The job headline is linked up to a job details page. The page opens perfectly in Firefox, chrome and IE for me. But, one of our clients have pointed out that the page doesn't opens up in IE. What could be the possible reasons for this issue? If the page is refreshed, the the page comes up fine. Please find the link below for a screenshot...

I see that FB is running in secure mode, what means that https is activated. Do you have a SSL certificate for your target domain?
