Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[hans.buis]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

On the www.netground.nl page, on the right below we use a flash banner. We use a
XML file which randomly picks a .swf file. We have 4 banners in a pool. We
recently adjusted the xml file, Internet Explorer reads the new file and
displays the new banner. Firefox keeps using the old XML file from cache, it
won't display the new banner (new xml file).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. We can adjust the xml file
2. You already had to be on our website
3. Try to load the new xml file

Actual Results:  
It won't load the adjusted XML file

Expected Results:  
Just read the new xml file to display the new banners in pool.

On several desktops we experience this problem.

Do you have the URL to the file that is being cached?

Is this still reproducable using a recent nightly build?

Right now, we've changed our code to work with Firefox. We would have to 
reverse engineer almost our code, and we currently lack time to support and 
testdrive this. Sorry.
