Yep, that definitely would explain what you've run into with work you've done in a source file not being reflected in the browser when you hit refresh.
Your browser caches (saves) a lot of elements like CSS files & images, so when you revisit a page it loads faster as it doesn't have to re-download every single element.
When you do a hard refresh on the page it tells your browser that you want it to download everything from scratch.
That was my first guess as we'd been editing the CSS file. And when you said it works fine in Firefox but not Chrome, I figured Chrome was your regular browser that had saved a previous version of the CSS while Firefox was something you just loaded up and tried for the first time. Both browsers usually render pages almost exactly the same. Computers!
