Hi, I just upgraded to Firefox 32 (fedora linux) and have discovered a couple of issues that weren't present in previous versions (I upgraded from version 31).

When I refresh the screen, there is often a white flash, where the browser seems to blank the current top level document, creating a blank white screen for a second. This happens on pages with iframes/frames most frequently, but I've also noticed it on non-frame pages.

Also, on pages with iframes, when I refresh the entire page, the content in the individual frames does not refresh. I have to refresh the frames themselves to get the content to change. In previous versions, refreshing the entire page would refresh everything, frame content, etc.

I went back to Firefox 31 to test and the two issues I mentioned were gone. When I go back to Firefox 32, they are there again.

I thought I'd submit the report to you.

Thank you for your time.

Matt
