Anyone here playing around with RSS?

I decided to do a little research today to see how I can use RSS in our 
system.
Most of the items I want the client to see are time sensitive and I need
the client to read the XML file on the server at least once per 5 
minutes.  I've
added the <ttl> option the feed and it does not seem FireFox 3.0 
respects it.
I'm tailing apaches access log and I see no attempt to grab the file every
5 minutes.  Possibly I've did something wrong?

Here is the top of the rss feed file

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
<title>SAM AlarmCenter Organization: DEMO</title>
<description></description>
<link>http://demo.opsdc.com/</link>
<ttl>5</ttl>

Maybe FF has a minimum?
