Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:85.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/85.0

Steps to reproduce:

I load a webpage, then view its source. Then I close the view-source: tab, change the html on the server and reload in FIrefox the same page with Ctrl+F5. In the Developer Tools, I have disabled “Disable Cache” (thus caching is enabled), but based on the GET request I see that the page was reloaded. Is particular looking in the Developer Tools⇒Network and clicking on the Response ⇒ Response Payload I make sure, that Firefox has downloaded the most current source.

Actual results:

I click on Ctrl+U to see the html source. Firefox shows me the old page source, until I click on Ctrl+F5 in the “View source” tab.

Expected results:

The view source shall show what firefox renders. But it shows, what the view source tab has shown in the past.

Setting a component for this issue in order to get the dev team involved.
If you feel it's an incorrect one please feel free to change it to a more appropriate one.

Component: Untriaged → DOM: Core & HTML
Product: Firefox → Core

Could reproduce this (with python -m SimpleHTTPServer) on Ubuntu 18.04 with current Nightly.

Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
Component: DOM: Core & HTML → View Source
Product: Core → Toolkit

This looks like a dup of bug 1712054

But, I can't reproduce that on my machine. I always see the latest source when opening View Source (Ctrl+u)

Can you please attach a page I could try locally?

I cannot reproduce this any more. Either the description is incomplete, or the bug is fix. At the time I reported the problem, it was annoying, as it appeared repeatedly, now I do not know any more.

Mirko, can you reproduce this with current Firefox?
