Our site worked fine with Firefox's older version but after loading 5.0 it no longer works correctly. Our server responds but firefox's display is not updated. What changes from the last version to 5.0 could be causing this problem?

It still works with IE and Chrome. Multiple users around the US have had the same problem when they upgraded to Firefox 5.0. We dumped the dynamic output to a static html file and Firefox displays the static html correctly.

Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache.

Thank you for the information but unfortunately it did not help. The html code that is sent to Firefox is not displayed.

Since last time, I enabled a log file on the server and the log files confirms that the data is sent to Firefox. Firefox 5.0 is simply ignoring the new html code that it receives. Any other ideas would be very welcome.

Can you post a link?

Did you make sure that there aren't any other devices (ISP, router, proxy) that may have cached that old code?

Hi Cor-el

I made a very simple test. I am in disbelief that it does not work in Firefox. Test is the simplest html code for a form with a submit button. On submit it requests an unknown action. Therefore the proper response form the server is action not recognized. Note: It does not matter what is typed in the text input field. You do not have to type anything in the input field. Just hit the Submit Button.

The link is http://www.ringengineering.net/Test.htm 

with IE you get the proper response of

"ERROR - Action not recognized"

With Firefox the screen refreshes with the original form! The message from the server "ERROR - Action not recognized" is not displayed. No error is displayed. At this point I believe it is an error in Firefox 5.0. This worked in the older revision of Firefox and works in IE 8. and I am told that Chrome works also.

I hope you can help.

I do not know what goes wrong.
I only see a request send and not a POST to send that form if I check it with the Live HTTP Headers extension.

Firefox 5: 

#request# POST https://www.ringengineering.net/ReOrderProcessor.dll

Firefox 3.6.x: 

#request# POST https://www.ringengineering.net/ReOrderProcessor.dll
#request# POST http://ocsp.netsolssl.com/
POST / 0q0o0M0K0I0	??+?????
#request# POST http://ocsp.usertrust.com/
POST / 0‚?t0‚?p0‚?L0‚?H0I0	??+?????
POST /ReOrderProcessor.dll Test+Input=&Action=TestAction
