320030 - Time to load page zeros out when you go to a different tab and back again.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

This may not be a bug but a "feature" or oversite.  On a page that takes a while to load if you click on a different tab and then go back the timer starts back at 0.  I think it should display the total time it took to load that page even if you switch tabs and return.  Programatically this means you would have to save the time for each tab that is still loading.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Bring up google on a tab.
2.Start a new tab and bring up a site that takes a while to load.  Notice the timer counting up.
3.Click on the google tab and then back and notice the timer starting at 0 (zero) again.



Expected Results:  
I would expect it to display the total time it took to load.

What timer are you talking about?

Firefox does not include a page load timer, you must have added it via an extension, in which case the problem should be reported to the extension author.
