Well, I just tried it in mozilla-1.0.1. It retrieves and displays identical icons one after another too. So, what I said in the bug report "The problem appears somewhere between 1.3b and 1.3RCs." is wrong. I guess it's because the release of 1.3b coincides with the Internet slowdown caused by the MS SQL slammer worm.

with linux trunk build 2003030905, this is the list of URLs i see being loaded from the supplied mozillazine link: /forums/viewforum.php?f=3 /forums/templates/subSilver/style.css /image/new/title.gif /image/new/blimp.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/lang_english/post.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder_announce.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_latest_reply.gif /images/x-click-but04.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder_new.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder_new_hot.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder_hot.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder_sticky.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder_lock_new.gif /forums/templates/subSilver/images/folder_lock.gif /image/navHeader.gif /image/newsearch.gif /image/new/tile_new.png none of the image requests are repeated. Wenzhuo: have you modified any preferences under Advanced->Cache or Networking HTTP? are you using a proxy server?

I just tried to reproduce the problem using a brand new profile, but failed. Neither 1.3rc or 1.0.1 (redhat build) exhibits the problem on a new profile. I remember the profile that caused the problem was created after 1.2.1. I did not change anything w.r.t. caching/http/proxy, and I do not have proxy on my network, although my ISP might do transparent proxy. I guess one of the previous builds I had used screwed up the profile. I'll remember to reproduce problems on a fresh profile first before filing bugs later. Thanks. Darin: what preferences might be causing this? All the cache/http/proxy settings of my problematic profile have default values.

http requests when opening http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=3 (using the corrupted profile).

Wenzhuo: thanks for the additional information. i'm really not sure what went wrong with your old profile, but if you like you can privately email me a copy of your prefs.js file, and then i'll take a look to see if anything might explain this. thanks!

This is the first and the only relevant (I think) hunk of the diff between the old prefs.js and new prefs.js: $ diff prefs.js.bad prefs.js.good 4,10c4,5 < user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false); < user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory", "/home/wenzhuo/.mozilla/default/rgnfc3ih.slt"); < user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", false); < user_pref("browser.dom.window.dump.enabled", false); < user_pref("browser.download.dir", "/home/wenzhuo"); < user_pref("browser.history.last_page_visited", "http://www.mozillazine.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=543334c8d188f55ad320bc3b1345a66a"); < user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine", "engine:///home/wenzhuo/mozilla/searchplugins/NetscapeSearch.src"); --- > user_pref("browser.cache.disk.parent_directory", "/home/wenzhuo/.mozilla/default/cgqbe561.slt"); > user_pref("browser.search.defaultengine", "engine:///home/wenzhuo/mozilla-1.3/searchplugins/google.src"); 14,57d8 ... I don't know what changed "browser.cache.disk.enable" and "browser.cache.memory.enable" to false. I didn't do it myself and the Cache pane of the Preferences dialogue does not show as such.

< user_pref("browser.cache.disk.enable", false); < user_pref("browser.cache.memory.enable", false); Wenzhuo: yeah, not having a cache is definitely what caused the problem. not sure what could have caused those entries to appear in your prefs.js file. i don't even think the UI is capable of setting those prefs to false. it only affects the size of the cache. wierd. v.

The Cache Service only 'gets' these prefs. It never sets them. How the prefs got set continues to be a mystery.
