677885 - "View page source" gives the source of the wrong page

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Toolkit :: View Source, defect)

Description

[Nicolas Barbulesco]

Hello,

Firefox 3.0.1. Windows XP.
I have an old page. I enter an address and press Return, to go to a new page. The new page takes time to load.
I still see the old page in the window. So I right-click on the old page content, "View page source".
I want to get the source of the old page.
Instead, I get the source of the new page which is being loaded - or its beginning.

Thanks for fixing that bug,

Nicolas

This is actually a front-end issue; it sounds like it's not asking for the right source...

In addition of the scenario described at the beginning : 

The old page I use now is : www.perdu.com 
The new page has to load slowly, the one I use now is : https://web.archive.org/web/20050321102642/http://www.apple.com/

I don't see this with a nightly build.
Can you reproduce please with https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/ started in safe mode?

In Firefox Nighly 32.0a1, with a new profile, in safe mode, I reproduce the bug.

I still don't see this. Does it reproduce in a new  profile?
