Public bug reported: Up to version 12 the user could determine by himself when content was being reloaded.
Since version 13 firefox reloads every tab after starting the programme when putting the focus on this tab, even if the content is stored in the cache memory. So the user gets the new content from the internet, which is very often the error page 404. I have received some tips that didn't help yet, e. g. to change the value of browser.cache.check_doc_frequency to 2 (= always use the cached version). That does, what it is supposed to do (only load a new version of the page if the user gives the command to do so), but it doesn't prevent reloading cached tabs when visiting them. How can I either - stop this unrequested behaviour - or go back to Firefox 12 (under Xubuntu 11.10)? Thank you for your help!
