User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: Firefox 0.9 Windows, but for some reason the 0.8 UA string appeared here Any dynamic page that I load appears to have "unknown" page size. Firefox should at least be able to show the size of the data it most recently downloaded from the server; right now I depend on IE to tell me how big a page is. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please provide an example URL for a page where this happens. p.s. The 0.8 UA string might be because you didn't uninstall 0.8 before installing 0.9 as recommended in the release notes: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/releases/#install
WFM Firefox 0.9.1 - Reporter, can you reproduce this A) on a newer build B) on another dynamic page -e.g. a php website?
Does not WFM on FF 0.9.1 Windows, with that same page. On other PHP websites this doesn't seem to occur. Maybe it has to do with that this site is running on IIS 6?
Incidentally, I notice the problem as well on a Solaris Apache install with Perl-generated pages. It doesn't happen in IE.
this happens because the page is not cached, and page info has to rely on the cache to get the size of the page.

this happens because the page is not cached, and page info has to rely on the cache to get the size of the page.
Well of course that's _why_ (it even used to say "Unknown (not cached)"), the question is _whether_ it should work that way. I know nothing about the Mozilla codebase so maybe it's impractical to do, but I think it should at least be an RFE. IE seems to manage it.
What about at least having Mozilla take the page size while rendering? Surely that should be possible?? This is the only flaw that I see in Mozilla as to its usefulness to web developers; unfortunately, what a glaring flaw it is, not being able to see how much data is received with an HTTP request.
