I hope this isn't a dupe, I looked around and couldn't find it so here goes. I
really hate this bug...It really gets in the way of development.

When refreshing a page with a form on it after you have submitted it to itself,
by either leaving the action parameter or setting the action parameter to the
same page. Mozilla will _always_ pull from the cache. If you change the html,
then hit refresh, you will never see the changes. To reproduce you only have to
have a page with a form, and a button to submit it.

Refreshing on forms should obey the cache settings in preferences/cache.
This sounds like duplicate of 46845, reopen if you disagree

Reopening. Simply put. On the preferences menu under cache, it says "Compare 
the page in the cache to the page on the network:" Everytime. 

Mozilla is not checking for differences Everytime as I have selected. Either 
the preferences menu is labeled wrong or it is a bug. So either way it is a bug.

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46845 seems to be an issue with 
form fields keeping their actual values after a reload. I have not seen that 
behavior. What I am seeing is very similar though it has nothing to do with 
form field values. The entire page is loaded from the cache regardless of cache 
settings.

I really dont have high hopes for this bug though. Mozilla has been taking a 
very anti developer stance lately.

I tried to reproduce it and followed these steps:
1)Created a file with a form:
<HTML><BODY>
<FORM><INPUT><INPUT type="submit"></FORM></BODY></HTML>

2)Loaded it in the 0.9.4 build from 2001-09-17
3)Eited the file by adding some text after the form "test" for example. 4)Saved it
5)In the browser I clicked the submit button

Results: The browser reloaded the page with the modifications and displayed
"test" after the form...

I tried this on windows 98 and 2000 both from local drive and from a server,
same thing happened. Am I doing something wrong?
between steps 2 and 3, click submit.
Hmm, I still cannot reproduce it... what is the build you are using? 
I'm marking this a dupe, after the coments that the reporter has sent me.
