I’ve had this problem for a while: When I use jquery $.post, I see LOTS of requests in the Firebug console that are exactly the same, and only the last one returns anything. If I click on the plus sign to open the tree for any of the other requests, it shifts the console about 1px but is totally blank. The loading images in the console don’t go away.

The image shown is the result of a single $.post action in Firebug 1.6.2, Mozilla Firefox 3.6.16 on Windows 7.

Firebug Console showing duplicate requests

The action only executes once and returns one result, in other words it behaves normally. Is there an explanation for this, or is something awry with my code?

Even this code will trigger multiple requests in the console:

$('form').submit(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    $.post('/', {}, function(){
        alert('ok');
    }, "json");
});

And the form:

<form method="post" action="/">
<div>
    <input type="hidden" value="1" name="id">
    <button type="submit">Delete</button>
</div>
</form>

    UPDATE: I checked this out in Firebug Lite on Chrome (no problems), and eventually upgraded to Firefox 4 and Firebug 1.7. No more issues. I “re-google” the subject about once a month to see if it pops up and never once did I hear it reported. So, issue resolved… I guess (Although I miss FF3 already!). I have been dealing with this for at least a year, so I’m still interested in hearing if anyone else has experienced this.
