Firefox or use.perl issue?
Every now and then when I'm reading comments in use.perl and I click the "back" button in Firefox to get back to the main post I get an error that says something like, "cannot find file blah/blah/user". It doesn't happen consistently, however.
This a Firefox issue or use.perl issue? Anyone else experienced this?
More info: I suppose I should mention that this is on Windows XP Pro.

What I think is happening, is that for some reason the browser can't find the cached file, perhaps due through inconsistent URL to cached name conversion. I think it'll happen more on dynamic sites, which tell the browser not to cache its pages. Such as this one...(?)
But, instead of doing the right thing and fetching the page from the web again, it just gives up and complains. Oh, well...

It could be build-specific quirkiness...if you use nightlies you'll see a lot of transient problems, and sometimes even releases have them.

Firefox on Win2000 and also on Mandrake (9.2, I think). No problems on use.perl or any other site. (Plenty of other problems, like loss of keyboard focus when I open a PDF file inside Firefox, but those don't count ;)
