Why Mozilla sends 2 more requests if the respond is an PNG image ?

Question

Hi,
I have a Java Servlet which returns an image for each request.
But when I use mozilla to access that Java Servlet, it also sends 2 more requests after it get the respond image back (png type).
Can you pleae tell me why?

Answer 1

webweave,
Welcome to the Apple discussions!
Generally, as discussed above, having 2 mount points for the same disk in the volumes folder won't prevent a successful backup. But in your case (#15!), that's a problem. More often than not, they are being created by Time Machine because you already have one or more instances of the Time Capsule disk mounted on your desktop. Ejecting the TC disk when it is not needed is the best way to avoid creating multiple mount points.
If you have any further questions, please post them in a new thread. You can refer back to this discussion with a link if necessary.
Cheers!
