I noticed this because it was causing unwanted extra transactions to go through to our DB. Please see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=489236 for the full description, and how I tested it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.View Page Source on a page with a form (method=POST) 2.Click OK to the dialog 3.Request is resubmitted Actual Results: Request is resubmitted, causing potentially serious problems at the back end. The source you end up seeing is the source of the new request, not the one you were interested in. Expected Results: Wanted to see the source of the original request See here for full description Please see http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=489236 Doesn't happen on the pre 2.0 versions - verified. Using the Noia theme - doubt that matters though
There are quite a few reports that deal with this in similar ways. See bug 307089 for the 1.5 branch. See also bug 55583.
Also happens when you do "File/Save Page As..."
