I've also heard that the SpiderMonkey - the new mozilla has marked improvements in the area. But slow rendering was only one of the issues. I have switched to a keyboard-only text-mode 'desktop' - interface, I should say and I am a much happier man. > > > Since this mainly poses problem when hitting the back key - 'h' - maybe > > I should find a way to map this to a short script/macro that just does > > 'back'+'reload'? > > As someone mentioned earlier, you can use the keybinding manager to > associate back with "Follow the current link, forcing reload of the > target".

Charles Darwin is categorical.. You'll never grow a third arm in your lifetime. Oh.. and as to developers being 'whimsical' relative to enhancements, I think not.. That's exactly why I barged into your thread.. The list is really the place where you can voice an opinion.. and since this caching behavior was something that struck me as being fundamentally different from the other browser.. Not sure it's a bad thing, though.. I briefly mentioned it but Miciah has a good point.. when the server is unresponsive it's OK I guess if you explicitly ask for a reload.. Maybe less so when the reload is done on a transparent basis every time you hit the back button (eg.).
