I don't have a reliable way to reproduce this. It has happened a few times -- about half a dozen times -- with firefox 3.5b4 and never yet with firefox-3.0.

MAIN yukyuk:~$ apt-cache policy firefox-3.5

I will submit a bug report on the mozilla bugzilla when I get around to it.

Thanks!

Oh, I think my diagnosis -- that firefox received a 200 success and a Content-Length and then a short read followed by connection close -- might be wrong. I don't know that for sure. I would have to think about it more.
