60589 - Wrong page loads when browsing

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38488

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Jeff Robinson]

When typing a new URI into the "navigation bar", the browser appears to set 
about connecting to and loading the new page as requested.

When the loading has completed (indicated by the stopped throbber and status 
bar on the bottom), the new page is not shown, but the same page that I was 
trying to leave.  After this happens, if I do navigate to a different site and 
then try to access this "failed" URL again, it will pull up the wrong page from 
the cache, but display the correction URL in the location bar.

Example:
I start the Mozilla and sit at the Mozilla.org page.  I type in something like 
www.slashdot.org, the throbber and status bar move, and it "seems" to be taking 
the appropriate amount of time as if it was really loading this new page.  When 
the "loading" is complete, though, it still displays the Mozilla.org page.  If 
I do surf to another page (as this problem seems intermittent), and then type 
www.slashdot.org, it then proceeds to display Mozilla.org again, but shows 
www.slashdot.org as the current location.

What is your build number? Do you use any proxies?

Comment 2

[Jeff Robinson]

My about page shows it as being: Mozilla/5.0 (OS/2; U; Warp 4.5; en-US; m18) 
Gecko/20001113 (the titlebar specifically stating: {Build ID: 2000111322}

I have been using JunkBuster as my "proxy" (configured manually on port 8000 of 
localhost), but I believe this problem has occured both with and without 
Junkbuster in-line, though not 100% sure.

If this happens only if you are using Junkbuster as a proxy, it would be a
duplicate of bug 38488.

BTW, please have a look at the bug writing guidelines and consider using the
Bugzilla Helper for entering bugs. Thanks for testing Mozilla!

Oops, of course I mean the bug _reporting_ guidelines. Sorry! =%-/

Reporter - For a workaround with Junkbuster:
See comment by Gervase Markham dated 2000-05-19 05:39 in bug 38488

If that setting seems to cure this bug, it's a dup.
