Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

After browsing a few sites, firefox apparently confuses images in the cache, displaying them in wrong pages when the filenames are the same.
Example: after viewing two sites which show an imagem called "logo.gif", if I browse one of them the image "logo.gif" loaded from the cache comes from the other site. Doesn't happen all the time.

thanks for your bug ... this sounds strange and we need a second tester to verify this behaviour. It would be helpful if you could attach step by step instructions to reproduce (e.g. 1. visit site X, 2. visit site Y, 3. see that image is still the same etc.)

Please verify this happens with latest Firefox-2 or even better Firefox-3.0

I've seen this happen again a couple weeks ago (using Firefox 3 in Intrepid), but I can't reproduce it.
I think it might be related to when Firefox crashes, so I'm going to try it when I get back home (I wonder if Flash 10 crashes less than 9 =P ).
