Iframes are not reloading properly. If you load a page with an IFrame, then edit
the page and change the Iframe's url, such as as:-

Original IFrame URL
http://www.website.com/frameloader.cgi?loadiframe

New Iframe URL
http://www.website.com/frameloader.cgi?loadiframe2

It will still load the old IFrame, even when viewing source shows the new frame URL.

This has been checked and works in IE.

This screen shot capture a rendering problem.  The problem get worse after
scrolling, but the initial rendering failed too.

The rendering problem happens everytime on all of the result pages for
Travelcaribe dot com.  I am using Browser version 1.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0). 

This problem did not occur on that site in the previous version of Firefox.

I'm running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5)
Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I am also running into this issue, though I notice it happens to me when I've
got more than one iframe on the html page.

I also agree that it was not a problem when running the previous version of
firefox 0.9

Try putting "position:fixed" in the style of the iframe. That fixed the problem
for us.

Attachment: testcase

I'm running Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a6)
Gecko/20050111 and am having a similar iframe rendering issue, which can be
seen in this example.

The problem appears when the iframe is nested within at least three levels of
iframes, the iframe is resized using javascript and the scrollHeight of the
iframe's content is larger than roughly 16384.
