User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; de; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12 Due to a webserver misconfiguration (regarding virtual hosts and ssl) I got an ssl_error_bad_cert_domain error from firefox for all my domains. I've tried many webserver-configurations and thought i can test them hitting F5 (refresh) - but that's wrong. Firefox seems to cache the ssl_error_bad_cert_domain result and doesn't update even on a refresh. My webserver configuration was fine, but didn't work in Firefox, therefore I tested the request in another browser and it worked. That's how I discovered this "bug. Restarting Firefox helped (to clear the cache?) and my domains were working again Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prompt a ssl_error_bad_cert_domain error in firefox. (Caused by a certificate for another domain as the requested) 2. Fix the certificate error on your webserver. 3. Hit F5 in apache - the error will still be there. Actual Results: See Details. Firefox caches the error. Expected Results: Firefox should do a real refresh when telling it to do so.
Summary: Firefox doesn't do a proper refresh after ssl-error(s; like ssl_error_bad_cert_domain) → Firefox doesn't do a proper refresh after ssl-error(s) like ssl_error_bad_cert_domain
