(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1b99) Gecko/20090605 Firefox/3.5b99

When image is not displayed due to server error 500, choosing "reload image" from context menu doesn't reload it, and no http request is being sent. On the other hand, if you middle-click "view image", it would actually send new request for image which could end successfully. After that, "reload image" would display cached image.

Reproducible: Always

I see no Reload Image in the context menu of an image, only View Image.

It appears for images that didn't load completely. Hit Esc while loading any page to get some.
Getting images with failure http status is harder to reproduce though.

Attachment: simple testcase written in PHP

When image is accessed for the first time, it gives an error and sets a cookie to allow file output on future requests, so "Reload image" is expected to resend the request and get valid image file.

If you open the image with "View Image" in a new tab (middle click or Ctrl + click), change back and then click reload image, it works again.

Indeed, fixed in 3.6.13 or maybe earlier.
