From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) BuildID: 2001010321 Mozilla sometimes (not always, but very frequently) ignores requests for new pages. For example, if I typed 'www.google.com' into the url box, it would go there and the page loads without trouble. However, if I now type '<any other random page>' into the url box, I see 'Sending request to www.google.com', rather than 'Sending request to any other random page'. This also happens when clicking on links. I don't think it's just a misprint on the 'Sending ...' line. Usually, if I keep hitting 'Enter' in the url box enough it finds the right page. However, this isn't really very usable :) I'm using a regular Linux 2.2 Redhat system with proxy, btw (nothing at all special). Netscape works fine on the system in question, as do other browsers. This might be a system specific bug, but I can't imagine what. It's been present in the last few months worth of nightly builds (and possibly before that). It doesn't seem to crop up under Windows, so it may be something to do with Linux. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enter an url into the url box 2.Wait for the page to be accessed 3.Try entering another url into the box. Often, Mozilla will attempt to fetch the page from site 1, rather than the site you've just entered.
Sending to networking:cache. There are 3 or 4 reports of a problem like this (some of which have been marked worksforme), maybe someone should finally start looking into this... I guess the user that has this problem is just an unlucky user.. Will post the bug # soon.
