User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100214 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.8 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100214 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.8 This thing is around for quite some time and instead of just showing me the page as I left it, Firefox annoys me with asking that question and does not offer the right answer, which would be: „Show me the damn page, don't send any data. Use the damn cache.” Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Forget your skype password. 2.Use the forgot my password button. 3.Use the link to change your password. 4.Get redirected. 5.Use the back button. Actual Results: Get angry, 'cause Firefox annoys you with that question and does not offer the right answer. Expected Results: Just shows the page that I left as I left it without sending any data because pages in cache don't need any interaction.
The old data was expired from the cache, normally on request from the website itself (like a no-store header). Other browsers resend the data without asking your permission. This can result in errors like a credit-card purchase (!!).
