[Bug 72812] Re: Firefox does not display new page after click.

[Mark]

I have the same problem in both Firefox (2.0.0.13, maybe as far back as 2.0.0.4?) and Thunderbird (2.0.0.9) under SUSE 10.0, and then under SUSE 10.3 on 5 different computers (with almost identical hardware and nVidia drivers, all with dual or triple monitor setups).  It most definitely is still a problem in Firefox 3 rc1.
It seems to happen most often when I am developing HTML/PHP code and refreshing a lot.  It's quite aggravating when I expect the page contents to change and they don't and I think its a problem with the code rather than with the browser.

I did notice one thing that might help.  Pages under 64k total size
don't seem to exhibit this problem.  To test this I filled a properly
formatted HTML document with lorum ipsum text so the exact size of the
file was just under 64k while I was the bug was manifesting. It loaded
and flowed correctly.  I increased the file to just over 64k and the
page no longer refreshed when reloaded.  Back down to just under 64k and
the problem went away again.  Perhapses there is a buffer being
overflowed?  A problem at exactly 64k seems very suspicious indeed.

Some times it is limited to one or two tabs.  If only Firefox is exited,
or only Thunderbird, they seem to 're-infect' each other. Quitting both
Firefox and Thunderbird is the only way to alleviate the symptoms
besides the window resize trick.
