From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) BuildID: 2001031604 Mozilla does not use or generate local cache and will try to load all from web again. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Load this URL and click links at leftmost frame. Actual Results: Mozilla will load rightmost frame from web after every click on these links. Expected Results: Mozilla should not load second frame every time from web but should get it from local cache. With such behaviour Mozilla generates a lot of useless traffic what slows Mozilla down. Only traffic what should be generated is requests for headers or other data to detect page and page component (such as images) modification. Only components to be load should be these which modification has successfully detected.
I see this, but suspect it is not a cache problem. The links in the left frame all point to the same document in the right frame, but to different #names in that document. Mozilla ought to jump to the given anchor name _without_ even re-requesting the document from the cache. Its just a matter of scrolling the windo in the same way it gets scrolled when a #name link thingy points to a named anchor within the same document in the same frame.
Ok, maybe it is a scroll problem, but Mozilla does the loading from web - break network connection by pulling the plug, and You see. Related problem might be with "Work Offline", where Mozilla is unable to browse anything.
The newcache (ie cache in general) was enabled earlier today. Should be up and running now. Download the latest nightlies to check it out (once the ftp is fixed and the new ones are copied properly) marking this as dupe of bug 73097 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 73097 ***
