Did you check the Age of the Entries by using about:cache?device=disk?
Version: unspecified → 4.0 Branch

Yes, under "Last modified" column.
I can still reproduce this with the latest nightly.

Any update on this?
My Internet connection is very slow and expensive so I used large cache storage for better web surfing. Yesterday my friend used my laptop to check his mail. I cleared all the data during last hour and closed browser. After starting it again, I've noticed things loading much slower and from about:cache saw all disk caches are cleared out.. I'm sure it contained +100MB last week that I checked it to diagnose a web designing problem.
And Today i reproduced same problem.. On Firefox 18, Gentoo linux build.
