Details

Following a link from an HTML page to an XML page, the XML was displayed OK but the back button then stopped working. FDor an example, go to www.w3.org/TR/SVG, go to a chapter with examples (there are lots) and follow the link from an example to its xml source. These xml files have no stylesheets; I don't know if that makes a difference or not. I was using M8 under NT4/sp3

I went to http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/struct.html and clicked on the first example. I then clicked the back button and I went back fine. I am using today's NT debug build. Chris, which build are you using? Thanks.
I was using the M8 build ID 1999071417 under Windows NT 4.0 (x86) SP3
This might be a networking problem or cacheing problem rather than UI. I tried it again and it did, after 15 seconds, go back. But when I went forwards again, it just sat there for ever. Netscape Navigator 4.6 on the same machine over the same dialup connection (ISDN modem) retrieved the struct.html page in about 2 seconds wheras Mozilla M8 seems to take a lot longer (variable though, sometimes its fast). Does Mozilla fetcha new copy from the network when you use the back button, or does it (surely) use a cached copy?

Yes, the cache is not kicking in when it should. Once Necko lands, we are going to try to enable the cache before M9 is released. That work should, hopefully, fix the cache-related bugs that you are seeing. I'm marking this bug worksforme because today's builds are going back/forward reasonably fast.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
I'll verify this as WFM but the reporter should keep an eye out for a behavioral change whenever the new cache lands.
