User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530 When you try and save a web page in mozilla, it attempts to re-download the page from the web site instead of saving the html you are viewing. This presents a _major_ problem when you're trying to save an online purchase reciept, as mozilla will resubmit the order when you try and save the reciept. This is extremely undesirable behavior. The same thing happens for printing and viewing the source. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. View a web page. 2. Save it. 3. Mozilla gets the copy from the web, rather than the html you're viewing. Actual Results: Mozilla saved the web page from the web, resulting in the commerce site processing another order request. Expected Results: Saved a copy of the HTML that I was viewing rather than trying to get it from the web again.
It certainly does not happen for printing -- the printing code has no concept of "loading" anything. For view-source, that would be bug 136633 or similar. For save as that would be bug 120809 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 120809 ***

Probably more like a dup of bug 288462, since bug 120809 is only for data that are in the cache.
