That's... bizarre. Genuinely.

And you can only have one outstanding problem at a time. So until I resolve the FireFox issue, I'm not taking on any new problems.

Okay, I think I've resolved this. It seemed bizarre to me that avatars were old (and stale cached) in the logged-out case, but not in the logged-in case.

The root cause turned out to be the fact that logged-in users get a different database query than logged-out users, mostly due to the complexity of topic tracking (i.e. tracking the last post you read so you can jump back to the first new post later on). I had put the newer avatar-fetching queries in the block of SQL for logged-in users, but neglected to even notice that there was a parallel block for logged-out users.

Once I added the avatar queries there as well, everything went back to being sane and rational.

Thanks for reporting this.
