327216 - Firefox makes an extra roundtrip to retrieve an image file: once to display in the browser and again for the location bar and tab bar (if visible)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 304574

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sachin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

If you access just an image file from Firefox, Fx requests for the same image twice from the server, once to display it in the browser window and again to display it within the location bar & the tab. The extra round trip should be avoided and the image retrieved for the browser content window should be re-used for the location bar and the tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Access any image file by typing the image url in the browser
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
Fx makes an additional roundtrip (I figured it out while writing an ISAPI plugin for jpg files).

Expected Results:  
Should make only one trip.

Maybe related to bug 304574 or Core bug 321569?

Well sorta, I am marking this bug as dup of 304574 as of now, though that bug talks specifically about dynamically generated images whereas this one is about static image types as well.
