Did you try to use the back-button to get back to the page you were previously
on?

WFM, XP, 2002041903: -Writing this, clicking Help, About Plugins, and then
clicking the back button takes me back to this bug-reports with what i just
wrote still
present.

Resolving as invalid.

Sure I did.
It does get me back to that URL, but since I have 'Compare the page in the cache
to the page on the network Every time I view the page', it downloads the empty
form. Get it?

Please think a little before you close a bug (especially if you didn't open it,
and especially if it is not relevant for you - see 'XP'). Thanks. ;)
