261453 - url disappears in address line when page fails to load

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 254714

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Crute]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10

If a page fails to load for any reason (i.e. proxy settings set but not behind
proxy or website not found) the URL will not be displayed in the address line.
This is a pretty big inconvenience.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a site you know has broken links
2. Middle click on a broken link to open a new tab
3. Once the page fails to load examine the address bar, there will be no address
for the page displayed and thus no way you could come back later and try again.

Actual Results:  
See Above

Expected Results:  
I should be able to see the address that I attempted to visit.

None

Bug 231393 and Bug 103720 are relevant.
