From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010503
BuildID:    2001050304

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the URL.
2. Press Shift + Reload button or Shift Reload in menu
3. Watch *each* folder icons being re-requested from the server.

Expected Results:  Just request the folder icon
(http://ftp.mozilla.org/icons/folder.gif) once from the server and apply the
cached copy to the rest of folders.

NS4 also re-request all icons from the server.  This is bad in performance...

Summary: Shift-Reload is overdone. → Shift-Reload re-requests too much
imagelib needs to somehow use the loadgroup to know that it can ignore a
shift-reload for all but the first image and just pull from its cache for
the rest -> pavlov

yes, i'm aware of that.
I had a conversation with Gordon, and he said that a shift-reload was supposed
to be different than in Communicator, it would force all other URL's to reload
directly from the server.

Maybe this "super-reload" needs to be hooked up with some other user-interface
event?

AFAICT, it reloads an image once for each time it appears in the document. 
(when doing shift-reload)
*** Bug 91738 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Are we sure Bug 91738 is a dupe? It's regarding reloading an image URL, where as
this is regarding reloading an HTML URL, with 2+ of the same images on it.
