33442 - Clicking forward and back buttons on browser not using cache properly

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 33269

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect, P3)

Description

[WD]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win98; en-US; m14)
BuildID:    2000032308

Internet Explorer uses the cache very efficiently when clicking the "forward"
and "back" buttons on the browser.    Mozilla, on the other hand, seems to
unnecessarily re-load the document from the network rather than pulling it from
the memory cache.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to:  http://www.deja.com/usenet
2.Search for "mozilla"
3.Click on the first message that comes up
4.Click the "Next in search" link above the message about 6 or 7 times
5.Now, click the "back" button repeatedly (with pauses between clicks) to get
back to the beginning page
6.Compare the speed with Internet Explorer 5


Actual Results:  The each previous page viewed is re-loaded from the network
when the "back" button is pressed in the Mozilla browser.	

Expected Results:  Since the page was just viewed, it should pull from the
memory cache, making the page come up *instantly*.

This is one area that makes browsing with IE MUCH MUCH faster than Mozilla.
