User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

Listing the extensions by "ALL", duplicate listings occur in the page at
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&numpg=10&pageid=17
and the previous page at
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/showlist.php?application=firefox&numpg=10&pageid=16
the total number of extensions are respectively 411 and 392. The last four
extensions on pageid 16 are repeated on pageid 17. This pattern occurs elsewhere
in the complete listing. The listed pages may or may not show the same result as
the error seems to appear randomly within the full listing. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.click on get more extenstions in browsers extension listbox
2.click on All Extensions link in
https://addons.update.mozilla.org/extensions/?application={ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}
3.click Next>> repeatedly until problem becomes apparent

Actual Results:  
In reporting this the first time I reproduced it page 1 and page 2 disagreed,
the second time I reproduced it page 3 and page 4 disagreed. The pages that
disagree change but the problem re-occurs.

Expected Results:  
given a consistent tally of pages and not produced duplicate listings

You could just be hitting pages in the cache that haven't been updated since a
listing was added.

I just tested this hypothesis by opening the update page as before and clearing
the browser cache locally before clicking on the all extensions link. The first
page reported 404 items in 41 pages and the second page reported 424 items in 43
pages. I clicked through 9 more pages all reporting 424 and cleared the cache
again and jumped to page 1 which now reported the 424 items and continued
clicking next page. when I came to page 13 it reported 404 items and 41 pages.
Page 14 again reported 424 items and displayed 6 items that had appeared on page
13. This seems to indicate it is not a local caching problem and to confirm the
randomness of the appearance of the problem.
