When Firefox page doesn't load properly, reloading the page sometimes doesn't put it right

[Robert Persson]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

When a page in Firefox doesn't load properly, for instance when a stylesheet has obviously not been loaded and the layout is completely messed up, reloading the page often simply repeats the error, forcing you to open another browser if you want to see the page properly. In other words, refreshing the page does not load the elements that were missing the last time the page was loaded.

Unfortunately I cannot give you a guaranteed way to reproduce this, but I'm often having pages not load properly because of my poor Internet connection, and I'm seeing this error a lot.

The reload button ought to be a magic bullet that banishes all evil caused by imperfect loading of web pages.

Silmilar problem, not constant, but more prevelant with last upgrade of ubuntu and firefox... now using 9.1, wondering if I should have stayed a bit longer with 9.04...
