Starting at "www.linuxtoday.com", which is a link on my personal toolbar folder, I can click "Mozilla.org", and the browser queries "www.linuxtoday.com" instead. This only happens sometimes, but persistence will always reproduce it. It happens regardless of whether I click a URL, click in the toolbar, or type a new URL. Today, for example, LinuxToday has an link to "www.thedukeofurl.org" on a review of Suse 7.0. I clicked it, and mozilla attempt to find the URL "http://www.thedukeofurl.org/reviews/misc/suse70/", but sent the request to LinuxToday, as evidenced by 1) the status comment in the lower left ("Sending request to linuxtoday.com"), and 2) the error message from linuxtoday.com: " Not Found The requested URL /reviews/misc/suse70/ was not found on this server. Apache/1.3.14 Server at linuxtoday.com Port 80 " If I persist, I can eventually get to the correct server, but I've not found a combination yet ((re)clicking, removing a trailing '/' in the URL box, etc) that will work each time. I have the nightly build from 01/25, and 02/01, and both exhibit the problem. If you need any more input, please feel free to contact me. Frankly, I'm surprised that this hasn't been noted before. Of course, it may have been, and I've not found it in the bug search. Thanks!

what mozilla build are you using? the buildid is in the title

As I noted, the nightly builds from 01/25 and 02/01 both exhibit the problem. The build ID in the titlebar sez: {Build ID: 2001012521}. The one from Feb 1 sez: {Build ID: 2001020121}

doron : he mentionned it in his report -- 01/25 and 02/01. Daniel : I assume you understand that if everybody was seeing this bug, it would no longer be in Mozilla since a long long time. There are a couple of related bugs, however, but very few people see it, and usually there is no given pattern to reproduce it :-( I'll try to post the bug #'s here. Oh by the way, are you using some kind of strange network, or a proxy or something like that? What is your cache set to? -> Networking:Cache

i am blind, that is my problem. ok, try creating a new profile (mozilla -profilemanager), does that help? (doubtfull)

this may be a dupe of 47579.

the bug you meantion is only part of the problem here

Sorry it took me so long to respond, but to the "proxy" query, why, yes, I'm using the Internet JunkBuster, to drop ads and cookies. Would it be some sort of interaction with it? Sorry, I should have mentioned it in my first post, but I've used it for so long now, that I hardly even think about it. DOH! And although you're probably heard it for far too many times: "But it works fine with Netscape!" (don't flame me too much, please ;-).

updating component and setting default owner

We seem to be seeing this bug quite frequently. The bug has to do with the way in which HTTP reuses sockets/channels. Adding as a dependency on our proxy meta bug 61691. cc'ing neeti@netscape.com, nominating for moz 0.9

(don't flame me too much, please ;-) Actually, that's a good measure for debugging, assuming 4.x wasn't broken. FYI: I have never seen this bug with my Squid proxy, which does not run on localhost. > as evidenced by 1) the status comment in the lower left ("Sending > request to linuxtoday.com") This is another, unrelated bug.

Are you using a proxy configuration?

Yes, see my comments from 2001-02-06 10:58.

I've noticed a correlation, perhaps. If I wait 30 seconds before clicking on a link, it usually works as expected. A few times, this doesn't work though.

pushing this bug out (for now)

> We seem to be seeing this bug quite frequently. Nominating for mozilla1.0, based on that.

I see this on Win98 also, build 2001072403. I am running LeanWeb (http://www.clasohm.com/leanweb/), a JunkBuster derivative. I first noticed the problem with a build from earlier this week (20010722??). No problems with Mozilla/LeanWeb prior to that. Sometimes, I get a 404 Not Found error because of Mozilla looking up the wrong host. Other times, the status bar shows incorrect information, but the site still loads correctly (like in bug 47579).

I'm seeing this bug too. The URL pane shows the previous URL that I visited. I'm running 0.93 Build 2001080814 on Linux. We use a squid proxy here. This didn't happen in 0.92.

Some more datapoints: I use Junkbuster as my proxy. I remember this problem from way back. But recent versions, specifically 0.9.2 worked with network.http.keep-alive = false. Since upgrading to 0.9.3, I see the problem again, so any preventive effects that this setting may have had are gone. I've now set network.http.version = "1.0", and the problem seems gone again. FYI, Junkbuster <http://junkbuster.com> is a HTTP/1.0 proxy. The problem may be in part due to it not handling moz's 1.1 requests correctly. How /should/ a proxy conforming to 1.0 handle these? Rewrite responses to bear a HTTP/1.0 designation? If you want any HTTP traces, just ask. Or install Junkbuster, it's free software.

junkbuster is broken. (see bug 38488)...

Hi. 1st time reporting bug. Hope this helps.^_^; I seem to have a similar problem.I am currently using Mozilla 1.2 on Win2k. Whenever I open a few tabs at the same time. After a while, when I type a new URL and press enter, the current tab only reload the current tab's webpage and not go to the new URL. Also, even when I open a new untitled tab and enter a new address, the page will not load. The untitled tab will however load a new page that I load from a bookmark or from the choices available from the choices when I scroll the the URL bar i.e. the history of my recent visited webpages. webpage This does not seem to happen when I just started Mozilla and open an untitled tab. I can go to the entered URL correctly. Only sometimes after I used Mozilla for a while this things may happen randomly. However once it happened it seems unable to be resolved until I restart Mozilla again. I am not sure what is the trigger for this. Hope this helps in fixing the patch.

junkbuster is broken... use workaround mentioned in release notes. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 38488 ***
