After some debugging, in a page (1) which got varaibles from a post and have an
image, first load firefox send a POST on the page (1) (which is normal). If I
refresh or post elsewhere, firefox send a GET to page (1) then a POST for page
(1) if it's a refresh or on another page (if it's a page change).

I know this is wierd, feel free to contact me on my email address for more
informations.
