User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050702 Firefox/1.0+ Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050702 Firefox/1.0+ The user profiles & caches have historically been stored here... C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(profile name)\(cache) However, since using the 7-2-2005 nightly for Deer Park, even after purging the profile content & this new folder, Deer Park still puts all the cache content in the following folder... C:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\(profilename)\Cache This also seems to cause inexplicable back button, forward button, and location bar errors if you don't delete the old profile data beforehand. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download & install the Deer Park 7-2-2005 nightly (I used the ZIP version). 2. Begin surfing different webpages without deleting anything from the profile folders. Actual Results: Back and forward will have random glitches; address bar may not update to new sites visited. Expected Results: In the past, upgrading to a nightly in this fashion hasn't caused the errors described above.

When using the StumbleUpon extension, the location bar will not update, even when back or forward is clicked. I'm not sure if this is connected to this error or not.

The cache location was moved intentionally in bug 291033 to improve support for network deployments. Could you be more specific about the cache problems? What build were you using before you upgraded to the 7-2-2005 nightly? Do the problems disapear once you clear the cache? Given comment 1, do the problems occur in safe mode?

1. I'm noticing additional random failures of the "back" button to appear on pages: I know there's a bug with Google Mail having some trouble; regular Google searches seem to have a problem with "back" as well. 2. Clearing cache in normal mode does not resolve the problems. 3. Safe mode does not seem to have any trouble so far.

Oh yeah, I was using Firefox 1.0.4 before the upgrade. I test different builds, one at a time, so whenever I delete the profile, I delete everything but the bookmark, signon, and cookie files (3 total). I'm wondering if maybe the back & forward aren't calling from the new cache location, or the extensions for that matter.
Depends on: 291033

This suggests that it is an extension problem which would make this bug invalid.
Can you narrow the problem down to being caused by a specific extension?

http://bugs.stumbleupon.com/show_bug.php?bugid=39 I believe on my end it is StumbleUpon 2.01 causing it; I suspect it may be the changed cache location or the new back-forward enhancements breaking it; I submitted a bug report to them. Anyone have any further observations or ideas? Any other extensions that induce the changing of pages (Coralize extension works fine)?

With the cache in my profile I can still see Bug 298928; makes no difference.

If you can't reproduce this bug without any extensions (you should not be filing bugs unless you /have/ done this is the first place...) then it's INVALID. And judging from the reporter's comments comment 3 and comment 4, this seems to be the case.

This appears to be a problem with the stumbleupon extension. Therefore resolving Invalid. I am unable to access http://bugs.stumbleupon.com/show_bug.php?bugid=39 but presume this is the same bug report to stumbleupon, if not please report this isuse to them.

Here's the odd part: you need to have the extension installed to be able to log into the bug report. (shakes head)
You need to log in
