Re: Possible Firefox Bug?
David,Am I mistaken or did I see a recent post from you about some sortof flakiness in your wireless internet connection? Could a lost connection be causing firefox to reload the page?You know, I never considered that. I some how don't think that is it, but it is an interesting theory. The reason I don't think that that is the cause is two-fold. One, I'm connected when it happens (I can recall going about my business) and two, Firefox does not seem to be reloading; only refreshing (the difference being the former takes information from the web-site, the latter, well, doesn't.) Still, when next it happens, I will pay special attention to my connection status.Thanks for the lead.-- —A watched bread-crumb never boils.—My hover-craft is full of eels.—[...]and that's the he and the she of it.

I'm running 1.5 in sid (2.4.27, xorg, and fvwm) and I've never seen this problem. Have you tried browsing in safe mode? My suspicion would be that it's All-In-One Gestures and either a glitchy or over-eager pointing device. You could try disabling just that one extension to see if it makes a difference. -- Michael A.

Re: Possible Firefox Bug?
Does this just happen on any webpage? Can you also give some example URLs? As I was writing the response to the previous E-Mail in this thread (I use GMail (online)), it did it. It blanked for a few seconds and went to the top of the page. I can't think of any others at the moment. I shall mark them down when next it happens and let you know. http://www.cbc.ca/canadavotes/leadersparties/leaders/bio_otherleaders.html and another yester-eve when I was signing up for a new account. It was an https, so now we know that this refresh is a Firefox-in-general problem and not a Firefox-by-the-page problem. -- —A watched bread-crumb never boils.—My hover-craft is full of eels.—[...]and that's the he and the she of it.
