User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_4) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/36.0.1985.143 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: * Enable http basic auth via Nginx on our staging site * Already have entered the http basic password on our staging site before upgrading to FF 32.0.1 (not sure if this is relevant) Actual results: Reality: the site loads a bit, then suddenly stops in the middle of rendering. It's very random where it chooses to stop rendering. Sometimes we see a blank page, sometimes half the page loads, and other times the entire page loads. Expected results: The browser should load properly every request. OR it should ask me to reauthenticate.
Any error info in the Firefox web console and browser console?
Is there http post involved, back-forward navigation or did you change the Firefox disk cache size to 0 `?
There was no error info in the browser console. There is no http post involved, no back/forward navigation, and I have never changed the Firefox disk cache size.
Also, this was reproducible across multiple computers by various people.
without public testcase i can only guess that it's related to our new disc cache backend. The only option left for me as triager is that i let you test the last nightly without cachev2 and the first one with it.
