User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
Build ID: 20161019084923

Steps to reproduce:

I was able to reproduce this because I have a slow internet connection. It can also happen if the host is slow to service the request.

Launch any website that can take a while to establish connection with (it took me 5 sec with my slow internet today)


Actual results:

During those 5 seconds, as I was getting impatient, I couldn't "stop" loading because the "stop" button was not yet enabled. See screenshots.


Expected results:

The "stop" button should be enabled as soon as a website is selected for navigation.

Interesting observation - while I am able to reproduce this from items on the "new tab" page, the same behavior is not observed when I open a page by directly inputting the URI of the page on the url bar.

Eklavya, you could try disabling the internet connection and then try the experiment. I tried what you did - input the URL on the URL bar. And, I see the stop button never gets enabled.
