Description of Problem: I am using junkbuster with mozilla-0.9.9-2. I am not certain whether this is a junkbuster or a mozilla problem, but it does not happen with mozilla versions prior to that released with Red Hat 7.2 (mozilla-0.9.2.1-2) nor on Netscape Navigator. Please reassign if it's a junkbuster problem. After visiting pricewatch.com or a number of other pages, mozilla usually won't visit certain other pages, even in another window that was already open before visiting one of the problem pages. Other pages it visits fine. All works fine without junkbuster. Disconnecting and reconnecting the proxy fixes it until the next visit to the bad pages. I suspect something in the communication between mozilla and junkbuster is messing up, and it gets cleared when the connection is broken and a new one is generated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 0.9.9-2 How Reproducible: almost always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set preferences to use junkbuster 2. visit pricewatch.com 3. visit http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html Actual Results: Browser stays on pricewatch.com or stays on pricewatch.com but displays the URL for ADS or gives a junkbuster 404 page. Expected Results: Browser goes to http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html Additional Information: Beware of cached pages when testing this. I am using junkbuster-2.0.2-28 with 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2331 Mar 1 04:42 imagelist 24 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 24168 Mar 24 04:22 blocklist ...and no cookiefile. The imagelist and blocklist are the standard ones that junkbuster distributes. adsabs.harvard.edu is not blocked by junkbuster until after a visit to one of the problem pages. On several occasions, access to *all* sites was impossible. I suspect that something about mozilla's communication with the proxy is messing the proxy up, after which it behaves weirdly on all future connections from the browser. Disconnecting the channel and reconnecting it sets things aright, until next time. --jh--
Setting the protocol version to HTTP/1.0 and disabling proxy keepalives fixes it for me. I had the problem with galeon-1.2.0-5 and mozilla-0.9.9-4. Going to http://news.google.com and then clicking a link going to Nando Times would reproduce the problem more than 75% of the time when protocol version is set to HTTP/1.1, but I cannot reproduce it with protocol version set to HTTP/1.0. See http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135116
Please try 1.0.1 and let me know if it fixes it for you.
