From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; N; Win98; en-US; m14) BuildID: 2000032308 Internet Explorer uses the cache very efficiently when clicking the "forward" and "back" buttons on the browser. Mozilla, on the other hand, seems to unnecessarily re-load the document from the network rather than pulling it from the memory cache. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to: http://www.deja.com/usenet 2.Search for "mozilla" 3.Click on the first message that comes up 4.Click the "Next in search" link above the message about 6 or 7 times 5.Now, click the "back" button repeatedly (with pauses between clicks) to get back to the beginning page 6.Compare the speed with Internet Explorer 5 Actual Results: The each previous page viewed is re-loaded from the network when the "back" button is pressed in the Mozilla browser. Expected Results: Since the page was just viewed, it should pull from the memory cache, making the page come up *instantly*. This is one area that makes browsing with IE MUCH MUCH faster than Mozilla.
