With CKEditor 3.0 and Firefox 3.5.2, sometimes after pressing F5 or the reload button to reload the page, the editor fails to reload properly. The editor displays, but doesn't display the content, and isn't editable. Pressing Ctrl+F5 loads the editor properly.
Example screenshot from the CKEditor demo page:

Re: CKEditor fails to load after page reload on Firefox
I have noticed a similar issue. Sometimes after refreshing, the editor GUI loads but I can't click in the editor to type. Any data I attempt to load data through setData doesn't appear. Refreshing again sometimes fixes it, sometimes it doesn't. Clicking the "source" button and then switching back makes the editor usable again.
I initially thought it was a caching issue but I have my cache disabled with Web Developer Toolbar. I can also sometimes get it to occur in IE8, and having multiple editors on a page seems to increase the frequency of this issue.
To reproduce the issue:
- Go to the CKEditor Demo page here
- Do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) for good measure
- hit F5 multiple times until it fails
- sometimes it happens immediately and sometimes it takes a while
- You'll know it has failed when the demo data doesn't appear
- clicking "source" and then clicking back makes the editor usable again
Note: That isn't how I originally encountered the issue...just how to duplicate what I usually see when the issue occurs. As I said I have multiple editors on the page, and I believe it's causing the issue to occur more frequently.
Re: CKEditor fails to load after page reload on Firefox
It occurs when using Firefox 3.6.3 with CKeditor 3.2.1. It works fine in Internet Explorer 8 and Chrome.
I didn't have the issue with FCKeditor 2.6

Re: CKEditor fails to load after page reload on Firefox
Problem solved: After testing, I discovered that the issue wasn't with Firefox itself, but with the add-on, Tab Mix Plus. Disabling Tab Mix Plus in Firefox solved the problem and enabled CKeditor without failures.
