3. Click the refresh button

Expected: refresh
Actual: "Reloading this page will send your order to a business again, and empty your bank balance. [Reload the stale page] [Take all my money]"

Well, we remove the iframe after we're done with it, and we remove the form right after we post.  I'm not sure what else we can do...

Sounds like a bug in Firefox.  Instead of panicking about resubmitting the iframe form, it should just reload the outer page without any iframe state.

This looks like a case of bug 171797 - breakage when reloading multiframe page containing one frame of POST results

Not sure what changed (probably "we got a lot faster, first with gzip and then with better data sources"), but I used to hit this several times a day, and now I can't remember the last time.
