648960 - iframe displays wrong content even with CORRECT url in the src

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Anthony Heley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

When I manually refresh my page 9 times out of 10 the iframe displays content from the wrong URL. When I then go onto to view the page source the 'src' of the iframe is the correct url that I want to display but the iframe loads a different url.

If you leave my script to do the auto-refresh itself (it just cycles through all our sites) it all loads fine, its as if firefox gets confused, works fine in Safari/IE/Chrome

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto the URL http://antodev.com/smartassess
2. Hit the refresh buttons or cmd+R (mac)
3. Wait for iframe to display your wrong content
Actual Results:  
src says staff.smartassess.net, iframe loads smartassess.com

Expected Results:  
src to say staff.smartassess.net, iframe to display staff.smartassess.net

This issue is site related and it is reproducible on other browsers. The site is reloading after a couple of seconds displaying difrent content.

Hi Vlad,

I've once again tried this in Chrome and Safari and can't replicate this bug on them browsers.

There is no reason what so ever that the script should fail, the source clearly says one URL, firefox loads the previous one.

I think this is a bug :\

[[not reading bugmail]]

what about the URL your loading is not in sync with the URL your viewing in view source because of a delay?

I have the same problem.  I use an iframe to show download progress (progress of a file the server is downloading)  The iframe is set to reload every 2 seconds.  Firefox worked well for about 1 week, then it got stuck.  Restarting firefox doesn't resolve the problem.

I have not had any problem with Chrome or IE.

Disabling Ad Blocker Plus solved the problem...
