76712 - new cache file becomes read-only, browser will not display content

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 76293

(Core :: Networking: Cache, defect)

Description

[Dave Barrowman]

On Win95 files in my NewCache directory become read-only.  I cannot delete them,
at least not through the file explorer.  The file does not claim to be read-only
in the "properties" dialog.  No web content will render (including sidebar) once
this occurs.  The only solution since I can't delete the file is to rename the
NewCache directory (to e.g., NewCache.foo), and restart the browser.  Do not
know how to reproduce.  This occurs in build 20001041704.  Appears related to
Bug 73314.

Dave, I'd really like to take a look at your cache directory.  When would be 
convenient for me to stop by?

I can't delete the cache files, so anytime you want to come by, you can see
them.  (B-21, 2nd floor, x3408).

Okay, it looks like Windows isn't releasing the file descriptors after mozilla
crashes, so any open files can't be deleted.  Shutting down and restarting
allows the files to be deleted.

This could defintely be one of the causes of bug 76293.

Adding keywords and marking new.

I'm marking this a duplicate of bug 76293. I'll be landing a patch shortly that 
will try to move the cache folder aside and create a new one if this problem is 
detected.
