59.0a1 (2018-01-06) (64-bit) Mac OS X STR: 1. Open some links in new tabs in background 2. Those background tabs crash 3. Go to those background tabs to try and reload and try again Can't! The tab has the URL in the tab title, but the URL bar is blank! We should make sure the URL makes it into the URL bar and persists, so the user doesn't lose it.
Is this a regression?

I'm not sure why you've unconfirmed this. I've asked in #developers to see if there's a handy URL for crashing content processes, in order to allow you to see if this still happens.

If it is, somebody should confirm that. > I've asked in #developers to see > if there's a handy URL for crashing content processes, in order to allow you > to see if this still happens. I've had many content process crashes in the last few days -- bug 1431474. I haven't seen this bug happen, although it's possible I selected all tabs before they crashed. Rather than waiting for a crash, it may also be possible to reproduce this by force-quitting a content process.
