Do you use a proxy ?

Comment 3

[Constantine A. Murenin]

No, I am not using proxy-server. IE shows that pages, so it doesn’t seem to
depend upon my ISP.

Unable to reproduce. Please try the most recent nightly build.

Comment 5

I have just found what exactly was causing the problem -- the "Cache-Control:
no-store" http directive. Later, by trying to search for "no-store" on Bugzilla,
I have found http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=184304 which explains
what else could cause the bug to occur. Though, in my mozilla's GUI Memory Cache
is set to 4096 KB, I have found the following directive in my user profile
(don't know why it was in my prefs.js), which was causing the problem:
"user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", false);". After shutting mozilla down,
and erasing the line, everything went okay. :-)

Can we get a shorter description, and put the relevant data into a new set of steps?

Comment 7

[Tom Everingham]

I believe that the mem cache setting in prefs.js can be controlled from the
Edit|Prefs|Debug|Networking menu .  You may have disabled your memory there. 
Regardless, this looks like a dupe.
