User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040626 Firefox/0.9.1

If you go to http://www.hivelife.com and click Preview, it sometimes renders the
page, but sometimes it shows the source. An example... i got to thise page
through a link, and the page doesn't render
http://www.2and2.net/Uploads/Images/firefox.jpg, but if i click refresh it
renders http://www.2and2.net/Uploads/Images/firefox2.jpg. This happens on only
certain pages (not just pages on hivelife.com), and it only happens some of the
time.

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to www.HiveLife.com
2.Click on the Preview Link.

Actual Results:  
Sometimes it displays chucks of the source, instead of the rendered page. If I
hit refresh, than it'll display the page rendered.

Expected Results:  
Display the page rendered.

This bug still occurs in v.9.1 but a bug that i haven't seen in v.9 yet is that
sometimes on certain pages, it displays both page, kind of merged into one
another. Two pages in one, messed up page. Seems like it "hasn't forgetten" and
is "displaying" information from the last page. If I click refresh, it'll
display the page correctly. Also (something I haven't seen in v.9.1 yet) is that
the page displays the header & session information... when I click refresh, it
fixes this though.

Attachment: Page display source instead of render.

When displaying a new page, from a link, sometimes that particular page doesn't
render and display the source.

Attachment: Hit Refresh, and it renders the page and display it correctly

What the page should of displayed without needing to hit the refresh button.

WFM, Linux (OK 10 out of 10 loads)
Reporter: What are your preferences under Advanced->HTTP Networking ?

Comment 4

[Chillz Kid]

What do you mean Advanced->HTTP Networking ?

In General->Connection Settings   it is directly connected to the internet.

 What's pipelining?

Comment 8

[R.K.Aa.]

To comment 7:
It is one of the options under Advanced->HTTP Networking, see comment 3.
(It's experimental and disabled by default. Is it disabled in your setup as well?)

I do not have that option. I have, Advanced->Accessability, Browsing,
Multimedia, Software Updates, Certificates, & Valaidation

I do not have (or see?) Tools->Options->Advanced->Http Networking...

The reporter is using Mozilla not FireFox.  The fact that you don't know what
HTTP  pipelining suggest that you have not enabled it.  To make sure type
about:config in you address bar. Search for network.http.pipelining by default
it is false.
The server identifies itself as 
Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) 
mod_gzip/1.3.26.1a mod_auth_passthrough/1.8
mod_log_bytes/1.2  mod_bwlimited/1.4 
PHP/4.3.8          FrontPage/5.0.2.2634a
mod_ssl/2.8.18     OpenSSL/0.9.7a

yes, network.http.pipelining was false. I've switched it to true. Lets see if
the problem still occurs... thanks for the reply/help.

Comment 12

[Chillz Kid]

nope it occured again. i've been told that i didn't install firefox correctly
because I didn't completely install the old version of firefox... but the new
firefox is in a directory completely by itself... i don't know...

Try a new profile.  There should be a program called "Profile Manager" under
"Mozilla Firefox" in your start menu.  If that does not work run firefox.exe
-profilemanager from the command line(you might have to cd into Firefox's dir).
 Use this to add and use a new profile and see if that solves your problem.

[Chillz Kid]

creating another profile seemed to have resolved the issue... thanks.

Nothing in Mozilla itself was broken or fixed.
