I have just noticed that the URL is not shown when I am checking my mail on
yahoo.com.au. There is nothing other than the Yahoo favicon in the URL window.
The same applies when a new window is opened for whatever story I wish to read.
I have clicked back and forward but nothing appears for any page

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to yahoo mail
2. sign in
3. check mail

Actual Results:  everything works, its just that there is no URL shown in URL bar

Expected Results:  to see the URL of the page I am reading

I cannot reproduce this on other mail sites

Comp: Browser General -> URL Bar

[[not reading bugmail]]

it looks like tab browsing sometimes doesn't update the URL after page load.. it
worked fine in a build or two before today.. not sure which build.. but opening
a URL in a new tab, and after a load.. will not update URL bar till after
switching from an open tab already and back again.. the URL bar gets painted.

I have also noticed that the first window which opens when going online often
has something wrong with it. It may be that security does not work, or the page
will not load, or loads improperly. There may be no URL, or links do not work.
Usually all that is required is to close then reopen Mozilla, which then works
correctly.

Dup of bug 115975?

[Michael Lefevre]

just tried this with 1.0RC3 on win2k, and it WFM.

reporter (or anyone else reading), can you reproduce this problem with a recent
Mozilla build?

I've just seen this today with build 2002053104 on Windows 98.

I had opened a new window and browsed to a site
(http://www.teletext.co.uk/tvplus/nownext.asp?High=3) using a bookmark on the
Personal Toolbar.

After looking at a couple of pages I noticed that the URL bar was blank, so I
tried to enter a URL of a different site (entered "www.storagereview.com") and
pressed Enter. During the entry of the URL, the autocomplete did not function
(no drop-down list or autofill). Upon pressing Enter Mozilla proceeded to reload
the current page instead of trying to load the entered URL. Browsing to a
different bookmark worked, but still did not update the URL bar (still showing
"www.storagereview.com").

I have not been able to reproduce this yet, however.

I have noted the same problem for some time now on RC3. It does not appear to be
reproduceable at the time, but occurs later. This is one of those problems with
the first window that opens that I attempted to report some time ago.

Not since Phoenix 0.5, and whatever that equates to in Mozilla.
