When a page is to be loaded as a result on a POST and it fails, FF displays the error page with a "Try Again" button.

Clicking it pops up a dialog, if the POST data should be resent.

Steps:
 - click Cancel

Expected:
 - be able to click "Try Again" the second time and allowing the send in the dialog that ask for it

Actual:
 - the "Try Again" button is disabled, there is no way to reload the page (except for visiting the URL with no POST data, but that is different)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Tried with 3.6.12 on Windows XP Professional SP3.

The behavior is the same as described comment 0.

I used this URL to test:
http://www.cs.unc.edu/~jbs/resources/perl/perl-cgi/programs/form1-POST.html

I filled in some values, pulled out my LAN cable and clicked the submit button.
After a few seconds the error page appeared. I clicked Try again, then cancel.
Result: the Try again become disabled.

I see this behaviour on every fail-to-load-page with SM2.0 and SM2.1.
My steps to reproduce are:
- disable network connection
- try to load any page -> 'try again' window appears.
- hit 'try again', as loading fails again, the 'try again'-field is grey
- after reconnecting, only reload page works
Severity: normal → S3
