An Orion plugin is a iframe in the Orion editor page. The iframe URL
is the URL you put into the plugins page. In Firefox, you reload the
browser window with cache override (either Ctrl+F5 or Shift+Ctrl+R),
the iframe will be fetched from the server. So if you don't see the
iframe content change when you reload with override cache, then your
server-to-sourcefile system is broken.
I used Orion server to hold my plugin and never had a problem of fresh
reloads. However, very commonly the plugin manager forgets about the
plugin and you have to re-install it. I got in the habit of loading
the plugin in to one tab just so I could copy and paste its URL in the
plugin page.
I'll check in Chrome soon.
