1278616 - Editable URL always resets to last *loaded* URL

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Awesomescreen, defect, P5)

Description

[Sebastian Kaspari (:sebastian; :pocmo)]

STR:
* Go to example.com
* Edit URL and enter javascript:foobar
* We display javascript:foobar but nothing happens (That's bug 1278581)
* Edit URL again

Expected result:
* The URL should still be javascript:foobar and I can fix it.

Actual result:
* The URL is example.com again
* However if you cancel the edit then we still display javascript:foo

We reset the URL every time the user starts editing it:

I'm searching through the open bugs trying to find one that describes an issue I see regularly.

The scenario is that I've entered the wrong URL and want to fix it.

STR: 
* Type food.com
* Firefox for Android starts to load food.com
* Fix the URL and type foo.com and submit (at this point food.com is still loading in the background)

Expected result:
* As soon as I submit foo.com this is what is displayed.

Actual result: 
* Firefox for Android reverts the URL to food.com and seems to still be trying to load that URL, a few seconds later the URL switches it to foo.com and properly loads foo.com
