Hello, Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549). Firefox 5.0. In the prefs, I have ticked "Prévenir lorsque des sites Web tentent de rediriger ou de recharger la page" : "Warn when Web sites try to redirect or reload the page". I was reading the article http://lexpansion.lexpress.fr/carriere/licenciee-pour-un-vol-de-poireaux-pourris_259374.html at the middle of the page, and the page got reloaded and brought to the top — because, you know, for these news sites, the world is moving 24/7, so any article you read has to be refreshed every 5 minutes, in case something new is interesting, like… a new loading of the ads. So I lost my reading. I expect something else : a bar appears at the top, warns me "This page wants to reload itself.", and reloads the page only when I accept. Thanks for correcting that. Nicolas

(In reply to Vlad [QA] from comment #1) > WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:9.0a1) Gecko/20110829 > Firefox/9.0a1 > > After the page is reloading, it remains where it were before. This would not be “working correctly”, this would just be “less worse”. * The expected behaviour is : * A bar appears at the top, non-modal, asks me "This page wants to reload itself", and reloads the page only if and when I accept. The W3C's Web accessibility guidelines forbid the current behaviour. On some pages, the current user experience is particularly bad : I am watching a video and the auto-reload breaks it, and then when I find again my video it is stopped and back at its beginning. And this is sometimes even worse : I am writing a comment on the article, and boom ! the article gets reloaded, and I have lost my writing. This is data loss. On some pages, the auto-reload is every 1 minute !

This primary behavior in question here is the reload (which is not by itself critical), which in turn causes the comment to be lost. I can't reproduce this on windows with http://www.lexpress.fr/emploi/licenciee-pour-un-vol-de-poireaux-pourris_1436781.html#article_comments > On some pages, the auto-reload is every 1 minute ! please cite some URLs

Wayne, you should be able to reproduce the problem — or at least the reload and the data loss — with the page www.francetvinfo.fr/france/en-pleine-sortie-scolaire-un-lyceen-refoule-a-l-entree-d-une-centrale-nucleaire_538367.html

¡Hola Nicolas!

Is this still an issue on current versions of Firefox?

If so, could you please update the Status section of the Tracking Flags on this bug?

¡Gracias!
Alex
