286335 - link address doesn't show up in navigation toolbar while clicked on it

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 254714

(Firefox :: Toolbars and Customization, defect)

Description

[Somoni]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

When you click on a link on any given site, a new tab pops up and while the link
(i.e., any site that link refers to) loads up, its address doesn't show up.

I think this is a serious bug and very annoying one. Given that many people
don't have fast internet connections, it may take a while for a site to load, so
it's annoying not to know what is loading on a tab that doesn't show the link in
the navigation toolbar, or even its title doesn't show up. It just keeps saying
"Loading..." and it forces me to manually copy the url and then paste it to a
new tab for the browser to open it.

Please look into ways of solving this issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. When you click on any url, a new tab opens up automatically (I specifically
configured Mozilla to do it).
2. If you have a slow Internet connection, it takes a while for Mozilla to
display that url in the navigation toolbar.
3. So, it forces me to manually copy-paste the url into a new tab.

Actual Results:  
After Step 3, The link opened up as it is supposed to happen.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should show the url address and its title (if it's a webpage) in the new
tab.
