After the disk cache (size 50MB) had gotten full, Mozilla simply didn't open web
pages from cache anymore. Only pages that hadn't been visited earlier and thus
hadn't been cached were opened.
If you typed an url of a cached page, Mozilla opened a blank page or showed only
texts but no images(only the filenames of the image in boxes). Rebooting the
computer didn't solve the problem. Only after the disk cache was cleared Mozilla
began to behave normally.
Before clearing disk cache I checked the size of the folder and saw that it was
full, the size of the folder being that 50MB which was selected as the size of
disk cache in preferences.
Reproducible: Didn't try

2 months gone, does it still happen with newer builds ?
Yes, it does. I'm using nightly build 2002071608 on Mandrake 7.2 (i386). This
problem has been occurring since 0.98 or so, as I recall, although I never
managed to think of a reason until today. I just tested it, and it manifested
itself when I did the following: First, I started Mozilla. Surfed until the
cache was at about 54000k -- it wouldn't go above that mark no matter what I did
(50000 disk cache + 4096 memory cache). Then I deleted the Cache directory, and
the bug immediately manifested itself.
Not that the Cache directory will normally get deleted, but Mozilla should
default to reloading documents from the network if the Cache it expects to have,
has somehow vanished. i.e. it's not handling an exception properly, it seems.
Erm, sorry to spam, but I should have mentioned that there could be other bugs
within Mozilla which cause the Cache to get corrupted or destroyed -- Mozilla
doesn't appear to gracefully recover from missing Cache data or index data;
instead, it just loads a blank page (or fails to load images, since it can't
cache them).
Basically, in any case where Mozilla goes to retrieve something from the Cache
and finds that it's missing or corrupted, it should treat the page as being not
cached, and act normally.

Deleting the disk cache out from under mozilla sounds like a dup of bug 47266.
Running into disk limitations is a duplicate of bug 170066.
Disk cache could use a bit better error handling for these cases.
Marking duplicate.
