If you have a page that changes the location with an onunload event handler and
you try to view the source, it will give you the source of the page you tried to
view and not the one you were redirected to. However, as far as I can tell, the
DOM appears to be correct.

Testcase coming up in a second.

Reproducible: Always

Attachment: Testcase

Refresh the testcase, click on the link, or hit back and it will redirect you
to the firefox product page, however that is not what you will see when you
view the source.

Actually, just hitting the reload button after the firefox product page is
loaded will show the problem... this is not view-source specific.  It's just bug
