Details

1. Open a new tab, called Tab2.
2. enter your URI, called Page2, in the URI bar.
3. Switch to the first tab (Tab1) while Tab2 is loading Page2.
4. Switch to Tab2 while Page2 isn't loaded yet (because of a slow site or a slow
connection)
5. The URI Bar in Tab2 is now "about:blank" instead of the URI of Page2.

This occurs on build 2001111403 on W2K, but probably on all OS too.

It may be caused by the fix of bug 109650.
WFM. Build ID 2001 11 08 03 / Windows 2000. Which may strenghten your theory
that the regression depends on the fix of bug 109650 ?
Is this still broken?
Svante: bug 109650 was caused by the fix of bug very similar to this one, as far
as I remember. I don't recall having this bug with about:blank on build
2001111303 and bug 109650 has been fixed in the interval.
When you have already load a page in Tab2 (so, Page2 is displayed and its URI
stays in the URI bar), enter another URI (we will call it Page3) in the URI bar
in Tab2 again.

Then do as in my first exemple with about:blank.

The URI will be the one from Page2 when you come back to Tab2 after switching
during the load, and not the one from Page3.
Yes, I have this problem too. Very very irritating. 

1. Open Mozilla
2. Go to any page. 
3. Open a new browser tab. 
4. Enter any URL in the new tab, but don't hit enter. 
5. Switch back to the first tab.
6. Switch again to the second tab. 

The URL will be replaced with "about:blank"

(Subsequently, if you actually go to another webpage in the second tab and
perform steps 4 and above, you get similar results.)
Updating summary.
Summary: about:blank in the URI bar when loading & switching from one tab to another → Original URI in the URI bar when loading & switching from one tab to another
