From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.61 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14 i686; Nav) BuildID: 2000073108 Setup: Mandrake Linux 6.1, Helix Gnome 1.2 Junkbuster 2.0.2 on local machine. When set up to connect through a Junkbuster web proxy, Mozilla improperly retrieves pages from its cache. To reproduce: 1. Install Junkbuster 2. Set up mozilla to talk to the local junkbuster proxy you've just installed 3. Delete your cache. 4. Bring up Mozilla, which will automatically go to http://www.mozilla.org/ 5. Bring up a new Mozilla window (Alt-N). 6. Type 'www.mozillazine.org' in the URL window at the top. Mozilla will proceed to fetch and display the main www.mozilla.org web page! This problem occurs with many different web sites, not just Mozilla's, and has been occurring with all of the builds I've ever tested in the past few months, including M16. I'd normally call this a bug in Junkbuster but Mozilla is the only web browser that has a problem like this. Neither kfm nor Netscape have this kind of trouble. Unfortunately, this bug makes Mozilla all but useless to me, since I really hate banner ads. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Junkbuster (2.0.2 is what I use) 2. Set up mozilla to talk to the local junkbuster proxy you've just installed 3. Delete your cache. 4. Bring up Mozilla, which will automatically go to http://www.mozilla.org/ 5. Bring up a new Mozilla window (Alt-N). 6. Type 'www.mozillazine.org' in the URL window at the top. Actual Results: Mozilla will proceed to fetch and display the main www.mozilla.org web page! Expected Results: Mozilla should have retrieved www.mozillazine.org. Strangely enough, this problem doesn't appear to reproduce through Squid 2.2. I'd classify this as being between "normal" and "major", but to err on the side of "caution" I'm classifying it as a "normal" bug.
