264427 - Mozilla displayed incorrect images from the cache

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Remi Villatel]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913

I accessed my personal site on which I worked a few days earlier to check the
rendering. According to the speed I can tell that Mozilla didn't use the cache
on disk, except for a few images which were totally unrelated to my site but
came from the cache.

I click several times the Reload button but it made no difference. Always the
same images came from the cache.

I had to clear entirely the cache in order that Mozilla finaly loads the correct
images.

My cache settings:
96 Mo
Compare... Everytime I view the page
Link prefetching ON


Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
I expected Mozilla to get the images from the web instead of picking random
images in the cache.

sounds like your cache was corrupted somehow.  did you happen to run two copies
of mozilla at the same time, using the same mozilla disk cache?  if so, then
that would cause this problem.  note: you would have had to configure a
preference to make two mozilla browser instances use the same cache.

Maybe my cache my corrupted, I don't know and I'll never know. As for running
two Mozilla's at the same time, I can't even think about a reason why it would
be useful. Tabbed and multi-windowed browsing are enough to get too much of
Mozilla on screen. I even think that user profiles are useless. No, I never did
and never will.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
