Ordered from a website, which as many do stated to save the receipt page for my reference, did a File > Save Page As then when I checked email had two order receipts come through. Better programmer would not allow this to happen on their site, but still - maybe a checkbox on the Save dialog to toggle between cached and getting a fresh copy defaulting to cached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup a script that accepts a form post then runs an sql insert against a db
2. Post the form so the record gets inserted
3. Do 'File' > 'Save Page As' (Web page only) then check your db table - you should have two records in there.

Actual Results:  
re-posted of course

Expected Results:  
no re-post
