I've seen this bug today, in Gaia's Browser app. Might be difficult to reproduce so I'll try to add as much information as possible.

* I visited the URL [1] yesterday.
* today, I wanted to display it again; a tab was still open with this URL, but it tried to reload the page, probably because we needed the memory at one point.
* But instead of showing the page, it showed me the "File not found" error, as if it was a 404. However, the page still existed, and I could visit it using another device, or Desktop Firefox.
* It was displaying this error either if I try to display it directly, or if I navigate to it from [2] ("Montbrison dans la Loire" link)
* clearing the browser history didn't fix anything
* clearing data and cookies fixed the problem.

That's why I think it could be a cache problem. Did we have a corrupted cache file for this URL somehow ?

BTW I'm using gecko b2g18 (from about the end of last week) and gaia master (Browser code from this morning).

For ref, there is bug 812483 that can work the issue around.  It has been suggested to land that already reviewed patch but have a pref.  I don't have time to finish it, tho.

I think this was fixed in the new cache.
