Details

STR: 1. Create an HTML document in the local filesystem 2. Load it in Firefox using a file:/// URL 3. Modify the HTML document using a text editor 4. Click "Reload" in Firefox Expected results: Firefox picks up the changes made to the file. Actual results: Firefox continues showing the old version of the file. Closing the tab and opening a new tab with the same file:/// URL correctly causes Firefox to load the new file. Tested with today's nightly on Debian testing.
tested and this is wfm.. please reopen if it recurs for you and we'll get a log.
