Question

Hey I am getting this confirmation by firefox.

To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action
(such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier.

Anybody knows what is this confirmation for?

And how to get rid out of this?

Try to change your request type from POST to GET.

If not possible to change the request type, For reloading the page, try using:

window.location=window.location;

Instead of

window.location.reload();

As suggested in answer to the question preventing firefox reload confirmation

Worked very well in Firefox, Chrome..

This happens when you refresh a page that is the result of a POST request (as opposed to a GET request).

To avoid it, you can use the POST/redirect/GET pattern.

I had this issue on a website I made. I ended up doing all of the backend work, then using this code:

header("Location: webpage.php", true, 303);

This clears out any post data and redirects the page so reloading will not cause that message anymore.

This is happening when you refresh a page to which some POST data was sent (for example, when you have completed a form). This question is asking you if you want to re-send that data so, if you made a search the searched term will be sent again to the server. This is dangerous when you completed a form where you have ordering something, so refreshing the page and resending the data will make a new order in that site.

The way Firefox is giving warning ; saying you're re-submitting form with post method.

below workaround worked for me.

<form id="yourDummyform" method="post" action="yourPostActionURL?var1=val1&var2=val2">

<!--or some hidden variables here -->

</form>

on Success of ajax call or some event do

$("#yourDummyform").submit();

I have overcome this problem for my requirement like this. I have added following code after form submit

document.getElementById("frmtbl").submit();
document.getElementById("nxt").click();
document.getElementById("frst").click();

nxt and frst are links for next and first page on the navigation bar. Others may get clue.

Sounds like the request to the page was from a POST.

You should use the Post/Redirect/Get pattern.
