I have an Flash game, that downloads some of it's content. When the file not in cahce firefox loads all file into cache and all ok. But when it's already in cance Firefox use Range header (server replise with 206 Partial Content) and Flash saying that file is missing.

Clearing the cache or forcing server to answer with full file (200 OK) fixes this problem, but I think that this is not right solution.

There is not that king of problem in private mode. So I can't understand where is the problem.

Private windows doe not pull from the cache, it calls new content for all request, this is why it does not happen in this type of window.

However the partial content call is requesting the cache on the local cache. Does Firefox support Range and Content-Range headers?

File not found sound like it might not be found in the cache. Does this happen with this site only? If so contact the developer to check the range requests.

However if there is an add on that might be interfering can you also check to make sure that this does not happen in Safe Mode?
